Lateral foveolae: in Orthoptera: foveate depressions on the margins of the vertex near the front border of the eye. Lateral line: in caterpillars is at the margin of the dorsum between sub-dorsal and supra-stigmatal line. Lateral lobe: of the labium in Odonata, corresponds to the paraglossa with palpiger and palpus (Gerstaecker) or, more probably, to the palpus alone (Butler). Lateral lobes: the deflexed portions of pronotum that cover the sides of pro-thorax in many Orthoptera: in certain Hymenoptera, lie on each side of the parapsidal furrows of mesoscutum and = scapulae. Lateral longitudinal area: of Hymenoptera, extends between the median and pleural carinae of metanotum. Lateral ridge: in slug caterpillars, extends longitudinally along the lateral series of abdominal tubercles. Lateral scale: one of the lateral processes of the ovipositor in Cynipidae, lying within and below the anal scale. Lateral space: in slug caterpillars is the area on each side of the body between the subdorsal and lateral ridges. Lateral sutures: of the thorax in Odonata, are situated on the sides of thorax, the first separating the metepisternum from the mesepimeron; the second separating the metepisternum from the metepimeron; the first more or less obsolete in the Anisoptera. Lateral tubercle: lateral on thoracic and abdominal segments of caterpillars: it is 3 of the abdomen, 2a of thorax: constant (Dyar). Latericeous: = lateritius: q.v. Lateritius: yellowish-red; yellowish brick color [pale clay yellow with a little red]. Laterodorsal: the point of junction of dorsum and pleurum. Lateropharyngeal: applied to the 4th pair of salivary glands in bees; situated on each side of the pharynx. Laterostigmatal: situated on the side, immediately above the spiracle. Lateroventral: the point of junction of sternum and pleurum. Latero-ventral metathoracic carina: in Odonata; forms the dividing line between the metepimera and the metasternum. Latescent: becoming obscure or hidden. Latreille's segment: the first abdominal segment of those Hymenoptera in which it is fused with the thorax:= median segment, propodeon, propodeum. Latticed: = cancellate; q.v. Latus: the side: broad. Latuscula: the facets of the compound eye. Leathery: having the appearance or texture of leather. Lectotype: a co-type chosen, subsequently to the original description, to take the place which in other cases a holotype occupies. Leg -s: the jointed appendages attached to the thoracic segments, used in walking: the organs of locomotion other than wings: unjointed organs of locomotion are pro-legs or false legs; q.v. Legion: a group of genera, subequal to a tribe. Legnum: the margin of a squama. Lemniscate: ribbon-like: in the form of an 8. Lenticular: round, doubly convex; like a lens or lentil. Lepidoptera: scale-winged: an order of insects with spirally coiled haustellate mouth structures; head free; thorax agglutinate; transformations complete four scale-covered wings.
