Description

Hello UBERON Team,

While it exists

id: UBERON:6004580
name: insect mesothoracic tergum
def: "The dorsal sclerites (tergites) of the mesothorax." [FBC:DOS]
synonym: "alinotum" EXACT [FlyBase:FBrf0111704]
synonym: "mesonotum" EXACT [FlyBase:FBrf0166419]
synonym: "notum" BROAD []
xref: FBbt:00004580 {sssom:mapping_justification="https://w3id.org/semapv/vocab/ManualMappingCuration"}
is_a: UBERON:6004552 ! insect tergum
relationship: develops_from UBERON:6006032 ! insect mesothoracic tergum primordium
relationship: part_of UBERON:6004579 ! insect dorsal mesothorax

, the insect prothoracic tergum is currently only available such as a FBbt class:

FBbt:00004561
name: pronotum (D melanogaster)
synonym: "prothoracic tergum" EXACT []

So could be worth creating

UBERON:xxx
name: insect prothoracic tergum
def: "The dorsal sclerite of the prothorax (T1) in an insect, forming the dorsal body wall of the first thoracic segment."
synonym: "pronotum" EXACT
xref: FBbt:00004561
is_a: UBERON:6004552 ! insect tergum
relationship: part_of UBERON:6000017 ! insect prothoracic segment

Thank you,
best regards,
