Figure 1 in Comparative morphology of the skeletal parts of the sting apparatus of bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea)

Figure 1. Lateral view of the sting apparatus of a generalized bee, Andrena pubescens as found at rest, with each individual structure shown separately in the position interpreted to represent its morphologically correct orientation where this is possible. Anterior to the left. For the hemiterga, the lateral margins are towards the bottom of the figure, medial margins towards the top. This figure is generally representative of the structures found in all bees with the exception of the unusually short dorsal arm to the furcula in this genus.
