What's the Preferred Term - 1/31/2011

Recap from last week: #1 - "Mesosoma" was chosen as the preferred term for the class "HAO:0000576: The tagma that is composed of the prothorax, mesothorax and the metapectal-propodeal complex" by two people (Keller & Ohl). We agree and have made the pertinent changes. #2 - For the class "HAO:0000662: The shortest anatomical line that connects the compound eye and the lateral ocellus" we had no suggestions for a preferred term. Thus, we will choose the preferred term.
