  2. Scutellum (insect anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutellum_(insect_anatomy)

    The scutellum is the posterior portion of either the mesonotum or the metanotum of an insect thorax; however, it is used almost exclusively in the former context, as the metanotum is rather reduced in most insect groups. In the Hemiptera, and some Coleoptera, the scutellum is a small triangular plate behind the pronotum and between the forewing ...

    scutellar (psct) bristles on the scutellum. They may be marginal or on the dorsal side of the scutellum (called the disc). The chaetotaxy of the pleura is also of taxonomic significance. The characters taken into consideration are presence or absence, the number, and the position of setae and groups of hairs on the

  4. Mesothorax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesothorax

    In one group of insects, the Hemiptera, the dorsal surface of the thorax is typically formed primarily of the prothorax, but also in part by the enlarged posterior portion of the mesonotum, called the scutellum; in the Coleoptera, the scutellum may or may not be visible, usually as a small triangular plate between the elytral bases, thus ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_morphology_of...

    The posterior of the mesoscutum is separated from the scutellum and the axillae by the transscutal articulation, and scutoscutellar sutures define the axillae from the scutellum. Behind the scutellum, the metanotum is the posterior sclerite of the thorax; this is broadly fused to the propodeum which is the first (anterior) abdominal sclerite ...

  7. Insect morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_morphology

    In the anatomy of some taxa, such as many Cicadomorpha, the front of the head is fairly clearly distinguished and tends to be broad and sub-vertical; that median area commonly is taken to be the frons. [9] The clypeus is a sclerite between the face and labrum, which is dorsally separated from the frons by the frontoclypeal suture in primitive ...

    The Pentatomoidea are characterised by a well-developed scutellum (the hardened extension of the thorax over the abdomen). It can be triangular to semielliptical in shape. [3] The antennae typically have five segments. The tarsi usually have two or three segments. [5]
