<p class="MsoNormal">This is a draft, and will contain errors and omissions. My examples are biased to the taxa I (kind of) know, and the specimens in my limited collection. But where I have failed to be precise, or misinterpreted a term, it is not for lack
of effort. If I am confused, it is likely that many advanced amateurs are likewise confused. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A good example came up in Sam and Clare's bee class: malar space. This is defined in bugguide (and elsewhere) as: <i><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">The area between the bottom of the </span></i><a href="https://bugguide.net/node/view/111909"><i><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#000099">compound
eye</span></i></a><i><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black"> and the top of the </span></i><a href="https://bugguide.net/node/view/110555"><i><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#000099">mandible</span></i></a><i><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">.
</span></i><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">But where it is an important trait - say Bombus or Andrena - the simple definition is insufficient to evaluate a specimen in a precise way.
<a href="https://leptinotarsa.github.io/glossary_test/glossary%20DW.html#malar">My entry</a> gets me closer, the photos being critical. My entry will be closer still when people in the bee community let me know what I should tweak or add. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
