As explained earUer (p. 99), the functional thorax of the bee (Figs. 73 and 74) con- sists of the three segments which form the thorax in other orders of insects and the segment which is the first abdominal segment of other orders. This modification is found in most other Hjrmen- optera' but the fact has seem- ingly escaped most writers on bees. The prothorax (1st thoracic segment) is reduced and the first pair of legs, arising from this segment, are loosely attached. The meso- thorax (2d thoracic segment) is specially well developed to accommodate the large mus- cles which propel the fore wings, while the metathorax (3d thoracic segment) is reduced, consisting only of a narrow plate (TS), the metatergum, and two lateral plates on.
