Definition:
The
sclerite that is median, is connected via
conjunctiva along its proximolateral margins to the stipites, is articulated with the labial palps, is continuous along its distal
margin with the
ligula and distolateral margins with the
distal hypopharynx and receives the site of attachments of the extrinsic
labial palp muscles.

the most prominent sclerite in the hymenopteran labium; it is divided into a ventral, median part and a pair of lateral arms. The ventral part is broad and troughlike. It lies ventrally to the bases of the labial palpi, sometimes surrounding them with a sclerotised dorsal process. The lateral arms arise on the proximal parts of the ventral trough. They extend dorsally, towards the distal hypopharynx, where they fuse with the hypopharyngeal rods. The lateral arms may be more or less sclerotised, the sclerotisation sometimes continuing into the proximal parts of the hypopharyngeal rods
