What's the Preferred Term - 8/2/2011

Recap from last post: For the first class "HAO:0000319: The pit that is located on the upper face dorsal to the intertorular carina and corresponds internally to a conical apodeme and not the tentorium" we had no responses and will thus maintain "pore facial" as the preferred term. For the second class "HAO:0000326: The scrobe that is located on the mesopleuron into which the mid leg fits when pressed against the mesosoma", Krogmann suggested a new label, "mesofemoral depression" as the preferred one. Thus we have added the label and it is now the preferred one.
