anterior subalar depression: depression above subalar prominence (Richard, 1977); may be smooth, crenulate or with a distinct transverse carina. Not to be confused with the subalar pit (Richard, 1977).
medio-posterior depression of scutellum: a posterior depression on the scutellum, which has a median carina or (more often) fine crenulation. Not to be confused with rugosity or other sculpture that can be present in cyclostome or microgastroid groups. Also different from a subposterior depresseion that may be present e.g. in Agathidinae, because of different topology and sculpture (editor's note: I believe the depression found in many Agathidinae to be homologous with those found in other Braconidae e.g. most Helconini.
(medial) pronope (singular/plural): round or transverse depression medio-dorsally on the pronotum.
lateral pronope (or subpronope): round depression in the sides of the pronotum anteriorly.
dorsope (singular/plural): pitlike depression just behind the bases of the dorsal carinae of the first metasomal tergite. The dorsal carinae may be absent and sometimes the dorsope becomes laterally situated when the first tergite is strongly petiolate.
laterope (singular/plural): pitlike depression situated in the glymma in many Braconidae, close to the base of the first metasomal tergite laterally.
precoxal sulcus: (not that new a term, e.g. Richard, 1956). Common longitudinal depression of the mesopleuron in Braconidae. Running nearly horizontal and situated above the sternaulus (well known in the Ichneumonidae). The different nature of both can be observed in some Opiinae where both depressions are present. The sternaulus is clearly bent downwards anteriorly and situated more ventrad.
