What's the Preferred Term - 2/28/2011

Apologies for missing last week's WTPT post.

Recap from 2 weeks ago: We did not get any responses for either term, so we will keep the current preferred terms: "HAO:0000942: The sclerite that is unpaired and located just dorsally of the basal part of the aedeagus in some Aculeata" we chose the term "spatha"; "HAO:0001027: The line that traverses the mesoscutum between the antemedian and postmedian wing processes." we chose the term "transcutal line".
