The plump portion of the abdomen posterior to the petiole (and postpetiole in the Myrmicinae) is called the gaster. [3] The structure of the petiole is an easy way to visually classify ants, because the major subfamilies of Formicidae have structural differences: some ants have two-segmented petioles, while others have a single-segmented petiole.
The pedicel is flexibly connected to the distal end of the scape and its movements in turn can be controlled by muscular connections between the scape and pedicel. The number of flagellomeres can vary greatly between insect species, and often is of diagnostic importance. [citation needed]
The pedicel, between the thorax and gaster, has two segments; the petiole and postpetiole. The petiole is "hatchet-like", with a node that is almost rectangular in profile and higher than the postpetiole. The antennae have 11 segments, with the last two segments greatly enlarged into a distinct club. The antennal scape (the first segment) is ...

The metasoma is composed of the petiole, the initial metasomal tergum, in addition to seven or eight postpetiolar segments (terga) that collectively form the gaster (Mt2 to Mt8 or Mt9). Many chalcidoids have a very short, broad petiole, such that the mesosoma and metasoma are broadly interconnected (sessile), and the petiole may be obscured ...
Petiole may refer to: Petiole (botany), the stalk of a leaf, attaching the blade to the stem; Petiole (insect anatomy), the narrow waist of some hymenopteran insects
