What's the Preferred Term - 3/28/2011

Recap from last week: For the first class, "The seta that is located on the anterior margin of the hind wing and interlocks with the recurved posterior edge of the fore wing in Hymenoptera during flight, making them functionally one winged", Schulmeister and Jennings both chose "hamulus (hamuli)" a choice that surely surprised no one in the community. As for the second class, "The malar line that is a carina", no one gave their opinion so we will keep "malar carina" as the preferred term.
