T A B L E 1. Forewing nomenclature of veins. The present designation of the wing veins is based on Wootton (1979) and Mason (1990). The symbol (v) indicates that the authors consider the structure as a vein. The terminology of Eickwort (1969) is based on Michener (1944) and Lanham (1951).

T A B L E 2. Forewing nomenclature of cells. The two different nomenclatures for cells proposed respectively by Michener (1944) and Eickwort (1969) do not correspond exactly with the modern nomenclature of veins, but as there is no possibility of confusion between the names of veins and those of cells, we introduce only few nomenclatural changes in order to minimize confusion in the terminology.

T A B L E 4. Hindwing nomenclature of cells. We do not follow the nomenclature of Maa (1953) for the hindwing cells because it does not correspond to that for the forewing cells.

TABLE 5. Comparison of the names for points of intersection of wing veins. Unfortunately many workers have given different names to the points of intersection of the forewing veins of Hymenoptera (Louis 1966, 1971; Ruttner 1988; Alexander 1991). It is particularly regrettable that Ruttner and his school did not follow Louis' nomenclature which was complete but probably had the disadvantage of being written in French and not English. Note: there seems to be an error in figures 2 - 3 of Alexander (1991): point A in figure 2 is not the equivalent of point A in figure 3.

present designation Maa (1953)

TABLE 6. Miocene fossil bees from France, Austria and Spain. Measurements are in mm. Characters of the forewing: FL, forewing length (sensu Ruttner 1988); FB, forewing width (sensu Ruttner 1988); Ci, cubital index (= CB/CA = a/b sensu Ruttner 1988, p. 42, fig. 4.7, p. 72, fig. 6.8) (= TS/TV sensu Louis 1971); Pci, Precubital index (= BJ/MH sensu Ruttner 1988) (=SNAVO sensu Louis 1971); Dbi, dumbbell index (=BA/IE sensu Ruttner 1988) (= SV/XY sensu Louis 1971); Ri, radial index (= E'X/E' Y sensu Ruttner 1988) (= YF'/YW' sensu Louis 1971); Dm, distance between vein icu-a and the point of separation between the veins M and CuA (=QR sensu Ruttner 1988; = H K sensu Louis 1971); this is positive if vein icu-a is in a proximal position relative to the point of separation between M and CuA, but otherwise negative; Lpt, length of the pterostigma (=LN sensu Ruttner 1988; =M'W' sensu Louis 1971); Wp, width of the proximal half of cell 2Rs; Wd, width of distal half of cell 2Rs; Angle YVX (sensu Louis 1971); Angle KIH (sensu Louis 1971) (= angle QOR sensu Ruttner 1988).

The hindwing's characters, i.e. the length of the abscissa of vein M and the number of hooks are difficult to use because the hooks of the hindwing are rarely preserved. Also, the body's characters, i.e. the length of hairs on tergite 5 = h (sensu Ruttner and Tassencourt 1978, fig. 1), the length and width of the basitarsus, and the length of the body, are often difficult to use because of the degree of deformation.
