The abdomen of the female bees (queens and workers) appears to consist of six segments (Fig. 75) but to this number must be added the modified abdominal segment on the thorax {IT). In the drones, there are ad- ditional segments par- tially visible externally. Snodgrass has figured (Fig. 76) the tip of the abdomen of the worker, showing that the eighth abdominal segment is in- vaginated and the eighth abdominal spiracle opens within the invagination. Zander 1 further claims that the quadrate plate (Qd) is a part of the ninth tergum. The anal opening {An) is in a ' Zander, Enoch, 1899.
