Intermediate field: of termini is = discoidal field q.v.
Internal area: in Hymenoptera; the posterior of the three areas
between median and lateral longitudinal carina on the metanotum
third lateral area.
Internal cell: in Hymenoptera (Pack.) 2d anal (Comst.).
Internal triangle: in Odonata see triangle.
Internal veins: in Lepidoptera, from one to three in number, run free
from base to outer margin near hind angle; never branched;1a to is
in the numerical series: = anal veins (Comst.).
Interneural: between the nerves (or veins) of wings.
Interno-mandibular: applied to one of the pairs of salivary glands in
bees, situated at the inner side of base of mandible.
Internomedian: in Orthoptera; = cubitus (Comst.); q.v.
Interocular: between the eyes.
Interplical: lying between folds; specifically applied to the alternate
ridges and grooves in anal area of secondaries of Orthoptera.
Interposed sectors: in Odonata; the shorter longitudinal veins
occurring in the wings of some species between the chief veins; =
supplementary sectors. Interrupted: broken in continuity, but with
the tips of the broken parts in a right line with each other.
Intersegmental: = interarticular; q.v.
Interspace: Coleopteran; the plane surface between elytral striae:
Lepidoptera spaces between wing veins not included in closed cells.
Interspaceal: occurring in the interspaces between two wing veins or
two elytral striae.
Interstice -tium: space between two lines, whether striate or punctate.
Interstitial line: the elevated ridge between two striae or series of
punctures.
Interval: the space or time between two structures, sculptures or
periods of development.
Interventricular: the inner valve between the chambers of the heart.
Interventricular valvule: of heart, lies in front of seluilunar valve.
Intervenular: in thespace between two veins.
Intestinal caecum: that point of the large intestine in front of the
junction with the small intestine.
Intestine: that part of the alimentary canal through which the food
passes from the stomach, in which absorption is completed and the
excretions are formed for expulsion.
Intima: the lining membrane of the trachea: see endotrachea.
Intorted: turned or twisted inwardly.
Intra-: within: between.
Intra-alar bristles: in Diptera; a row of two or three between the
supra-alar and dorso-central groups.
Intracellular: occurring within the cell or in a cell.
Infra-humeral bristles: in Diptera calyptrata; occur immediately in
front of the thoracic suture, between the humeral callus and the
presutural depression.
Infra-ocular: situated within the eye, actually or apparently.
Intra-pulmonary: that method of respiration which does not involve
movements of the outer body wall and is confined to the respiratory
organs.
Intrauterine: applied to development, when the young hatch within
the vagina of the mother.
