Glossary of surface sculpturing

Any field has its daunting terminology. In taxonomy, there is no way around it. A crucial set of traits for bees: surface sculpturing. It has just been pointed out to me that there is glossary of terms, with images: Surface Sculpturing. The source publication is referenced. The terms are particularly useful for ants (shucks!), but still useful the next time you want to know what areolate-rugose means.
