Explanation of Terms Used in Entomology
Smith, John Bernhard
Insects -- Nomenclature
Ante-cubital: see ante-nodal, cross veins and spaces.
Ante-furca: an internal forked process from the prosternum, to which
muscles are attached.
Ante-humeral: relating to the space just before origin of wings.
Ante-humeral stripe: Odonata; a discolored stripe, approximately
parallel to, but to the inner side of the humeral suture, q.v.
Antemedial line: = t. a. line, q.v.
Antemedian: Diptera; applied to leg-bristles situated before the
middle.
Antenna -ae: two jointed, sensory organs, borne, one on each side of
the head, commonly termed horns or feelers.
Antenna-cleaner: a fringed excavation on the interior base of the 1st
segment of the anterior tarsi of Hymenoptera which, when covered by
the movable process from the end of the tibia, forms an opening
through which the antennae may be drawn: similar structures are on
the fore tibiae of Carabid beetles: tarsal claws are also used by
various insects to clean antennae.
Antennal appendage: in Mallophaga, a projecting process of the 1st or
3rd segment in the male.
Antennal formula: in Coccidae; made by enumerating the antennal
joints in the order of their length, beginning with the longest and
bracketing together those of the same length.
Antennal fossa -w: grooves or cavities in which antennae are located
or concealed: = a. grooves: antennary fossa.
Antennal fovea: Diptera; a groove or grooves in the middle of the face
as though for the lodgment of the antennae; bounded on the sides by
the facial ridges.
Antennal foveolae: Orthoptera; the pits between frontal costa and
lateral carinae, in which the antennae are inserted.
Antennal grooves: see antennal fossa.
Antennal lobes: of brain, see deuto-cerebrum.
Antennal organs: in Collembola are sensory structures on the distal
segment.
Antennal process: Diptera; the frontal protuberance upon which the
antennae are inserted.
Antennal sclerite: see annulus antennalis.
Antennal segment: the second or deutocerebral segment of head.
Antennary fossa: see antennal fossa.
Antennary furrow: in Mallophaga, grooves on the under side of the
head in which the antennae lie.
Antenniferous: bearing antennae.
Antenniform: made up like, or having the appearance of antennae.
Antennule: a small antennae or feeler-like process.
Antenodal cells: Odonata; in Agrionidae the cells included between the
short sector (M 4 Comst.) and the upper sector of the triangle (Cu 1,
Comst.), and between the quadrilateral (or quadrangle) and the vein
descending from the nodus.
Antenodal cross veins: Odonata; extend between costa and sub-costa,
and between sub-costa and media, from the base to the nodus,
forming the ante-nodal or ante-cubital cells: = ante-cubital.
Antenodal costal spaces: Odonata; the cells between costa and
subcosta, from the base to the nodus: = ante-cubitals.
Anteocular: the region just before the eye; specifically applied in
Collembola to a peculiar structure of undefined function situated in
front of the eyes: = prostemmatic.
