English to Spanish: The Social Wasps of North America - Anatomy General field: Science Detailed field: Science (general)
Source text - English The thorax connects directly to the wings and the legs, which makes it the center of all locomotion. The thorax is made of six main plates: the pronotum, scutum, scutellum, metanotum, mesopleuron, and metapleuron. The pronotum forms the “shoulders” of the wasp. The scutum is the large central plate. The scutellum and metanotum are smaller plates towards the back of the thorax. The pleuron, mesopleuron, and metapleuron form the “chest” on the underside of the wasp. Two pairs of wings connect to the top of the thorax through joints called tegula, and three pairs of legs connect to the bottom of the thorax through the coxae.
Translation - Spanish El tórax está conectado directamente a las alas y las patas, por tanto es el centro de toda locomoción. Se compone de seis placas principales: pronoto, escudo, escutelo, metanoto, mesopleura y metapleura. El pronoto forma los “hombros” de la avispa. El escudo es la placa central grande. El escutelo y el metanoto son placas más pequeñas en la parte posterior del tórax. La pleura, la mesopleura y la metapleura forman el "pecho" de la avispa en la parte inferior. Las articulaciones llamadas tégulas conectan los dos pares de alas a la parte superior del tórax, y las coxas conectan los tres pares de patas a la parte inferior.
