Propodeum

Propodeum (from AltGr. Πρό 'before' and πόδιον , foot ') referred to in hymenoptera with wasp waist, the first segment of the abdomen ( abdominal ). The unit of propodeum and thorax forms the mesosoma . It has no sternum and is firmly fused with the metanotum . This segment tapers towards the back and gives the wasp waist of the hymenoptera its typical shape, together with the small stalk member ( petiolus ) that is only sometimes present .
