Clypeus- Anterior sclerite of the dorsal head, bounded posteriorly by the fronto-clypeal suture, which is also very commonly called the posterior clypeal margin or border. The anteriof clypeal margin usually forms the anterior margin of the head in full-face biew (but a projection of the labrum may be anterior to the clypeus in some taxa). The body of the clypeus consists of a pair of lateral portions, or narrow bands of cuticle, on each side of a shield-like median portion. The median portion of the clypeus may be equipped with one or more longitudinal carinae, or may be variously specialized in shape. Posteriorly the median portion of the clypeus may end in form of the antennal sockets/frontal carinae or lobes, or may project backwards between them. In some taxa the clypeus is very reduced and extremely narrow from front to back. (Bolton, B. (1994). Identificstion guide to the ant genera of the world. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University PRess. pp.1-222). |
