Sentences with PROTHORAX (5)
The whole is a sort of nipple swelling slightly on the upper surface; and its double structure is so difficult to perceive that at first we take it for the animal's head alone, though it includes both the head and the prothorax, or first segment of the thorax.
The mesothorax, or middle segment of the thorax, which is two or three times larger in diameter, is flattened in front and separated from the nipple formed by the prothorax and the head by a deep, narrow, curved fissure.
The other two, divided from the first by the whole length of the prothorax, each face the origin of the corresponding legs; consequently they are very near each other.
There is a long neutral interval, that of the prothorax, into which it is quite useless to drive the sting.
All the segments, excepting the last three, were stung from front to back, beginning with the prothorax.
