Insects
sketch it would seem that the back part of the head, _i.e._ of the
epicranium, may be made up in part of the tergite or pleurites of the
mandibular segment, since the mandibular muscles are inserted on the
roof of the head behind the eyes. It is this labial segment which in
Corydalus evidently forms the occiput, and of which in most other
insects there is no trace in larval or adult life, unless we except
certain Orthoptera (Locusta), and the larva of the Dyticidæ.
The following table is designed to show the number and succession of the
segments of the head, with their respective segments.
