alternative definition added over 14 years ago by Istvan Miko
Paired spiracles on the thorax that are adjacent to each anterolateral
margin of the mesoscutum, typically at or near the juncture formed between the mesoscutal
margin, the pronotum, and the anterodorsal angle of the prepectus; rarely the mesothoracic
spiracle is surrounded by pronotal cuticle when the prepectus is fused with the pronotum;
sometimes called the prothoracic spiracle.
