Gastropacha populifolia (family Lasiocampidae) with modified mouthparts Typically, the labial palpi are prominent, three-segmented, springing from under the head and curving up in front of the face. There is great variation in morphology of labial palpi in different families of Lepidoptera; sometimes the palpi are separate and sometimes they are connivent and form a beak, but they are always independently movable. In other cases, the labial palpi may not be erect but porrect (projecting forward horizontally). Palpi consist of a short basal segment, a comparatively long central segment, and a narrow terminal portion.

From the base runs a broad, dark, ochreous fuscous band outwards below the fold, touching the dorsal edge and then curving upwards to the fold.
|
|
H. huia can be identified by the minute segment 3 of the labial palp, the white subapical patch on the antenna and the metallic patches of curled scales on the forewing. These features are all unique to this species. This species is also sexually dimorphic with the female of the species having much longer labial palpi than the male.
|
|
Its head and palpi are whitish-ochreous, antennae dark fuscous. Thorax is whitish- ochreous, abdomen light grey, anal tuft whitish-ochreous. The forewings are elongated, narrow with a gently arched costa. They are fuscous with a pale greyish-ochreous median longitudinal streak from the base, margined beneath by a blackish streak and above by a cloudy blackish dot.
|
|
The palpi are extremely short. The colouring resembles that of certain Themone, Cartea, Monethe, Aricoris which imitate butterflies such as Ithomiinae and pericopine moths. The females are very stout and clumsy which makes them still more similar to the unwieldy Actinote. They are quite common but they are local and seem not to leave their birthplace.

The holotype female is considered remarkably well preserved and complete, missing only the palpi labiales which were possibly plucked. The underside of the abdomen is obscured by a delicate milky coating. One of the hind wings shows a deformation due to folding. The fore wings are a little over 3 times as long as they are wide and have a blunt tip.
|
|
The males will initiate a palp mediated mating response and mount the beetle if it were a female. This occurs after he touches his maxillary palp to the tips of her elytra. While mounting the female, the male moves to the posterior dorsal surface. The male walks forward and taps lightly on top of the female's elytra and thorax with his palpi.
|
|
Adult size ranges from in length. Their maxillary palpi are long and slender with the last segment shorter than the preceding segment and the pseudobasal segment concave inwardly. There is a pyramidal projection medially on the mesosternum, and the elytra have distinct striations. The middle and hind tarsi have four segments, while tarsal claws have a basal tooth in both males and females.

The first insect hormone prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) operates the species life cycle and diapause. This hormone is produced by corpora allata and corpora cardiaca, where it is also stored. Some glands are specialized to perform certain task such as producing silk or producing saliva in the palpi. While the corpora cardiaca produce PTTH, the corpora allata also produces juvenile hormones, and the prothorocic glands produce moulting hormones.
|
|
Adult A. freeborni are medium-sized with overall brown to black coloration. They possess a dark proboscis as well as palpi of similar length to the proboscis on their heads. The head is covered in erect scales, dark-colored at the posterior, yellow-white at the center, and light at the vertex. They also have a frontal tuft composed of several light-colored setae.
|
|
For terms see Morphology of Diptera Limoniines are medium or small-sized, rarely large. The proboscis or rostrum lacks a beak. The apical segment of the maxillary palpi is short and never longer than subapical one. The antennae are, in most species, 14- or 16-segmented (rarely 6-, 10-, or 17-segmented), usually verticillate (whorls of trichia) and only exceptionally ctenidial or serrate (Rhipidia).
|

Heterorachis asyllaria is a species of moth of the family Geometridae first described by Charles Swinhoe in 1904. It is found on Madagascar. Head, thorax and wings of this species are grass green, forewings with a black spot at the end of the cell and the costal lines ochreous; both wings with the cilia white marked with green. The body is whitish, legs pinkish ochreous, antennae, palpi and frons pinkish ochreous.
|
|
The genus is characterized by the females especially having hair (setal) pencils below the posterior medial eyes and spatulate hairs on the ventral margin of the first patella and distal femur. These characters are not found in Anicius and there are some differences in the structure of both male palpi and female epigyna. However, the anatomy is close enough that there is almost certainly some relationship to Anicius.
|
|
Forewing with two subterminal slender lines, the outer not clearly defined. Hindwing: the costa at base yellowish; discal and subterminal pale narrow bands. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen black; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen greyish white, the abdomen slightly ochraceous. There is very little difference between the sexes, or between the wet- and dry-seasonal broods; the latter are on the whole paler both in ground colour and markings.

Xanthodesma rectangulata is a moth in the family Noctuidae. It was first described by George Hamilton Kenrick in 1917 and is known from Madagascar. The head, antennae, palpi, legs and thorax of this species are ochreous orange, the abdomen dull yellowish. The forewings are dull orange, the veins all dark brown; a short dark basal line, a straight antemedian line, and a postmedian line strongly angulated on vein 6.
|
|
Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen dark brown, shafts of the antennae ringed with white; beneath: palpi, thorax and abdomen white. This form, collected by Capt. Walton, I.M.S., during the late Tibet Expedition, is very close to, even if it can be considered at all distinct from L. felicis, Oberthur, which was also abundant at Gyantze. I have been quite unable to identify and separate the female from the females of felicis.
|
|
Cilia of both forewings and hindwings white, alternated with fuscous brown at the apices of the veins. Antennce black, the shafts ringed with white, head and thorax with bluish-grey pubescence, abdomen dusky black; beneath: palpi, thorax and abdomen white. Female upperside uniform dark brown with in certain lights a satiny lustre. Forewing: the discocellular transverse black spot obscure, seen more by transparency from the underside than marked by actual scaling.
|
|
Antenna, head, thorax and abdomen brown, the head and thorax suffused with greenish grey; beneath: the palpi, thorax and abdomen touched with dingy white, the abdomen with two whitish lateral lines. Male has abdominal fold within grey, furnished with a tuft of long, somewhat stiff white hairs. Race teredon, Felder. (South India and Sri Lanka) is distinguishable in both sexes by the narrower medial band that crosses both forewing and hindwing.
|
|
As courtship progresses, the male will continue to stridulate and stroke the body of the female with his antennae. The female may respond by turning towards the male and contacting his abdomen with her forelegs, antennae and palpi. The male will then flatten his abdomen and spread his forewings, allowing the female to mount him, ultimately leading to copulation. During copulation, the male transfers his sperm to the female via spermatophore.
|
|
The wingspan is only 9–10 mm. The head, antenna and palpi, and the legs, are whitish. The thorax and the rest of the body is ochreous-whitish. The fore-wings are also ochreous-whitish, but with a suffused fuscous spot under the costa, an "ochreous suffusion between it and dorsum", and some golden-metallic scales in a line from three-fourths of the costa to the termen beneath the middle.

Dorsal view Side view Snout butterflies have prominent elongated mouthparts (labial palpi) which, in concert with the antennae, give the appearance of the petiole (stem) of a dead leaf. Snouts often take advantage of this superb camouflage by hanging upside down under a twig, making them nearly invisible. Wings are patterned black-brown with white and orange markings. The forewings have a distinctive squared off, hook-like (falcate) tip.
|
|
Cilia white. Antennae black, the shafts obscurely ringed with white; head, thorax and abdomen brown, the head, thorax and base of the abdomen with a little blue scaling; beneath: the palpi, thorax and abdomen white. Female upperside: dark brown. Forewings and hindwings from their bases outwards to a varying extent shot with bright iridescent blue, this colour not extended on either wing to the costa, termen or dorsum.

The antennae and palpi are pale brownish ocherous, almost white. The thorax and legs are of the same shade of pale brownish ocherous, the fore and middle legs are tinged with brown inside. The abdomen is similar both above and below, with a fine, brown, middorsal line. The forewings are concolorous with the thorax, but darker toward the costa, especially in the first lobe, though this shade is scarcely evident in some specimens.

Rothia nigrescens is a moth of the family Noctuidae. This moth occurs in western Madagascar.afromoths.net This species usually has a wingspan of 27 mm, and the forewings are black, shaped, and they are marked similar as Rothia simyra with one or two creamy dots in the cells, while the hindwings are black and the fringe spotted with white. Palpi, head, thorax and upperside of abdomen are black, underside of body and legs are orange.
|
|
Male Pangora erosa possess crimson palpi (segmented appendages near the mouth) with a black third joint. The head is typically whitish with a black spot on the vertex. Its collar and tegulae (small hardened components in the wings) are white, with pairs of black spots, while its thorax is typically brown with white stripes near the tegulae. The abdomen is crimson, with a series of brown spots, and its legs are similarly striped with crimson.
|
|
Hindwing: a broad medial longitudinal violaceous streak not extended to the termen. Underside: pale brownish white with darker specks, spots and transverse stria. These markings on both forewings and hindwings tend to coalesce and form broken transverse bands, the detached portions of each band placed more or less en echelon one with the other. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen pale brown; beneath: the palpi almost white, the thorax and abdomen paler than on the upperside.
|
|
All species have characteristic color patterns: the ground color is pale fawn, suffused or variegated with greenish brown. The fasciae are blackish and the discal spots likewise, prominent on each wing and usually enclosing an ellipse or a lunula of the ground color. Palpi reaching vertex of head and fringed with hair in front. Antennae bipectinated (comb like on both sides) to near apex in both sexes, the branches longer in the male than female.

The Phylloscyrtini tribe is a group of 21 species of small crickets in the New World, from the eastern United States to Argentina. Little is known about their biology. The group is characterized by the long maxillary palpi, flattened and widened in the last segment, as well as the tarsal adhesive pads, used to walk on the underside of leaves. Despite their size (less than 10 mm), the notorious colors make them easily recognizable.

Sabellastarte magnifica, magnificent feather duster worm Canalipalpata, also known as bristle-footed annelids or fan-head worms, is an order of polychaete worms, with 31 families in it including the suborder Sabellida (families Serpulidae (tubeworms) and Sabellidae (fanworms and feather duster worms) and the Alvinellidae, a family of deep-sea worms associated with hydrothermal vents. The Canalipalpata have no teeth or jaws. Most are filter feeders. They have grooved palpi, which are covered in cilia.
|
|
The maxillary palpi are reduced or even vestigial. They are conspicuous and five-segmented in some of the more basal families, and are often folded. The shape and dimensions of the proboscis have evolved to give different species wider and therefore more advantageous diets. There is an allometric scaling relationship between body mass of Lepidoptera and length of proboscis from which an interesting adaptive departure is the unusually long-tongued hawk moth Xanthopan morganii praedicta.
|
|
Cilia dark brown. Hindwing: a curved postdiscal series of transverse pale brown spots that terminate at the costa in a prominent large round black spot; a continuous broad pale brown curved line followed by a subterminal dark brown series of spots and an anteciliary line as on the forewing. Cilia white. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen brown; the antennae spotted with white on the inner side: beneath: the palpi, thorax and abdomen white.

The wingspan of the male H. extensilis moth is 13-15.5 mm and the female is 12-17.5 mm. This species is visually similar to its close relatives Hierodoris frigida, H. polita and H. gerontion. H. extensilis can be distinguished from both H. frigida and H. polita as it has a whitish hind-wing base. It has a white-scaled surface to its exterior labial palpi and does not have the transverse white forewing fascia of H. polita.
|
|
H. polita also has a white transverse band on the forewing that H. frigida lacks. H. polita can be distinguished from H. extensilis as the later has a white base to the hindwing whereas H. polita has a bronzy base. The exterior surface of the labial palpi of H. extensilis is white-scaled whereas H. polita is dark-scaled. H. polita also has a transverse white forewing fascia which both H. extensilis and H. frigida lack.

|
Hindwing greyish brown irrorated (sprinkled) with minute dark spots and short transverse striae, and shaded in the cell, on the middle of the costal margin, and on the middle of the termen with diffuse brown. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen dark brown; beneath, palpi, thorax and abdomen greyish brown. The larger varieties, with very broad orange markings on both forewings and hindwings, have been separated as race sanguinalis. This is chiefly a Himalayan and eastern form.

Imagines of Niphopyralis exhibit an unusual, somewhat Limacodidae-like habitus. Furthermore, they lack a proboscis, have reduced palpi, and the males exhibit bipectinate antennae, a mix of characters that for a long time hindered their correct placement among Lepidoptera (see Systematics). The wingspan ranges from 12 to 22 mm, and the males being smaller than the females. The lower two thirds of the male antennae are bipectinate with ciliated teeth approximately as long as the antenna’s breadth.
|
|
Underside similar, with similar markings, but the ground colour much paler, especially on the basal halves of the wings, the markings more clearly defined and broader; on the hindwing the white lines bordering the post-discal broad band have a purplish tinge, and in interspace 1 there are two inner obscure subterminal triangular black spots. Antennae brown, ringed with white; head, thorax and abdomen pale brown; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen more or less whitish.

|
Workers of P. tornquisti range between long, with shiny black to red coloration and fine punctation on the whole exoskeleton. The heads have sparse hairs across the mandibles, clypeus and palpi, in addition to hairs sparsely scattered on the gaster. The antennae have scapes longer than the head capsule, with a third of the length past the rear edge of the head. All of the twelve antennae segments are elongate, each being at least twice as long as wide.
|
|
The holotype specimen is a complete adult female with an overall coloration that is brown to black, except the palpi, which are a dull brick red. The female is in length, with antennae that are approximately three times the length of the head and macropterous forewings. The antennae are composed of ten segments, densely hairy, and distinctly club-shaped (clavate) in structure. The forewings have three cells at the base that are formed by pigmented veins.
|
|
The discal band has on either side of it posterior shorter macular bands, that give it an irregular and ill- defined appearance, while the two spots nearest the costa of the inner markings are very large and prominent. Cilia of both forewings and hindwings brown. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen brown, the thorax slightly purplish in fresh specimens, the shafts of the antennae ringed with white; beneath: palpi, thorax and abdomen dingy brownish white. Female upperside: brown.
|
|
Male Legs orange buff ringed with brown; pectus buff; palpi orange buff, extreme tip of third segment brown; head orange buff; antennae pale brown; thorax orange buff with black dots on tegulae and patagia; abdomen buff washed with a darker shade. Forewing deep orange buff, nervures orange, the whole wing sown with dark brown dots and spots, a quadrate dark brown patch in cell and a larger irregular one on discocellulars. Hindwing semihyaline buff. Female Similar but larger.

This orchid affixes its pollinaria firmly between the palpi of visiting butterflies. Unlike its relatives, this orchid species exhibits diurnal anthesis, a weak scent which is virtually absent at night, and has short spurs containing small amounts of relatively dilute sucrose-rich nectar -these are all considered psychophilous traits. B. cassidea has white flowers, but butterfly-attracting flowers are often coloured. Unlike bees and wasps, some butterflies such as swallowtails are able to see the colour red.
|
|
The labial palpi are light brown on the inside and strongly mottled with blackish scales on the outside. The tuft on the second joint is small, while the terminal joint is thickened with rough scales anteriorly. The head and thorax are light ochreous brown. The ground color of the forewings is rather light brown, but thickly overlaid on the costal three fourths with deep brown and dark purple scales, obscuring the ground color except along the dorsal edge.
|
|
The labial palpi are white and the tuft on the second joint is longer than the short terminal joint. The face, head and thorax are white with a slight yellowish tint and the shoulders are very light golden brown. The forewings are shining silvery white. There is a broad very light golden brown streak running from the base to the tornus along and crossing the fold and just below the costal edge is another similar narrower golden streak.

ALP was founded at a meeting held at Arlington Mill, Bibury, Gloucestershire on 23 July 1966. The meeting had been called by Bob Cobbing of Writers Forum and Stuart Montgomery of Fulcrum Press and was attended by representatives of a number of other small press publishers. Over the years, ALP published a regular newsletter, Poetry and Little Press Information (PALPI). This featured listings of publications by member presses as well as information on printers, suppliers and bookshops likely to be of interest.

This mosquito has distinct white and black stripes along its body which help differentiate the genus from others in this family. Females of this species are ectoparasites and can most often be found on mammals living in the tropical forests of Africa. The africanus species can be distinguished from other mosquitoes in the genus Aedes by having white scales on the maxillary palpi, scutum with a patch of large white scales, and 3 large white patches on the mid-femur.
|
|
Palpi pale brownish ochreous, terminal joint whitish with dark fuscous supramedian ring. Forewings elongate, somewhat dilated, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded; pale ochreous irregularly sprinkled brownish; a cloudy dark brown dot beneath costa near base; stigmata dark brown, plical hardly beyond first discal, a dark brown dash between discal more or less expressed; some brown suffusion between second discal and costa, apical and terminal area irregularly suffused brown. Cilia: whitish brownish (damaged). Hindwings whitish grey; cilia whitish.

The bees have a hind wing length ranging anywhere from 5.5 mm to 5.9 mm, and a hind wing width within the range of 1.35 mm to 1.5 mm. The bees have rust-colored scapes, legs, and cylpeuses, with reddish-tan hair color that covers most of the body. A. nigrocincta has a proboscis characteristic to those of the tribe Apis. The proboscis is characterized by a tube around the glossa formed by the flat galae and basal segments of the labial palpi.

Phalangium cornutum, profile of male, with legs and palpi truncated. a: ocular tubercle; b: mandible; c: labrum; d: sheath of penis protruded; e: penis; f: glans The legs consist of coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, metatarsus, tarsus and claw. In most Eupnoi and many Dyspnoi the coxae are freely movable, while in others they are fused together and immovably attached to the underside of the body. In contrast to spiders, hydraulic pressure does not play a significant role in leg movement.

C. mildei usually has a pale green or tan body, with darker brown palpi and chelicerae. An adult C. mildei is usually in body size. Each leg ends in double claws, and the front pair is significantly longer (up to two times the size, however it is clearly shorter than in C. inclusum species). The eyes have a tapetum lucidum that reflects back to the light source once lit, suggesting that the spiders have good to excellent vision and are agile prey hunters.
|
|
In var. latimargo the markings are much coarser and the terminal series on both forewings and hindwings more clearly defined. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen black, the antennas annulated with white; beneath: the palpi, thorax and abdomen white. Female upperside: similar to that of the male but the white area of much less extent on the forewing, of greater extent on the hindwing, the suffusion of lilacine blue absent on both forewings and hindwings; the terminal markings on the hindwing broader and more clearly defined.

The mandibles appear as large pincers on the front of some beetles. The mandibles are a pair of hard, often tooth- like structures that move horizontally to grasp, crush, or cut food or enemies (see defence, below). Two pairs of finger-like appendages, the maxillary and labial palpi, are found around the mouth in most beetles, serving to move food into the mouth. In many species, the mandibles are sexually dimorphic, with those of the males enlarged enormously compared with those of females of the same species.
|
|
Upperside: Antennae, thorax, and abdomen black. Wings raven black, having a pale yellow bar rising at the anterior edges near the tips of the superior wings, and crossing these and the inferior ones, meeting even with the abdomen, becoming wider gradually. Posterior wings furnished with two tails, and along the external edges having four small yellow crescents, and another at the abdominal corners; above which are two long square red spots, and another yellow crescent on the abdominal edges. Underside: Palpi, legs, and breast black.
|
|
The beetles are small, being between long. Their bodies are brown to reddish brown in color and have a dense covering of hairs which are notably long. Because the fifth and sixth abdominal sterna are extended, and thus visible, the genus has been placed in the Scydmaeninae, supertribe Hapsomelitae. Ektatotricha differs from the other member of the supertribe, Hapsomela, by having maxillary palpi which are almost equal in length, a different antenna shape, and by the depth of the punctures on the fore wings.
|
|
Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen dark brown; sides of the abdomen golden brown; beneath: palpi, thorax and abdomen white. ;Female Female upperside: more or less as in the male, but the dark orange-red medial patches replaced by white and much larger. On the forewing this white patch extends above the cell, the discocellulars closing which are prominently marked by a black tooth, and posteriorly it reaches the dorsal margin. On the hindwing the white patch is very large and in some specimens very diffuse.
|
|
Underside similar, the markings generally more clearly defined, the pale subterminal line on the hindwing replaced by a line of obscure minute spots. Antennae black with white rings at the articulations; head, thorax and abdomen black; beneath, the palpi and abdomen white, the thorax black. Female is similar to the male, but the forewing with the black apical and terminal areas proportionately narrower; hindwing with a series of spots instead of the subterminal pale line on the upperside. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in the male.
|
|
Hindwing: discocellulars with a short brown line similar to that on the forewing, followed by a subdorsal small round black spot, and a subcostal much larger similar spot; between these two spots is a curved, very irregular line of detached pale ashy-brown lunules; the subterminal markings very similar to those on the forewing. Cilia of forewing dusky brown, of hindwing white. Antenna, head, thorax and abdomen dark brown; the antenna on the inner side speckled with white; beneath; the palpi, thorax and abdomen white.
|
|
The edges of these wings are bordered with dark brown. Underside: Palpi, legs, breast, and abdomen cream coloured. Anterior wings next the tips tinged with red brown; the remainder of the wings being of the same colour as on the upperside. Posterior wings next the body pale clay, which occupies half the wings; below which is a white bar, the remainder of the wings being dark orange: the two black eyespots are very small on this side, and the white spot above them not so distinct.
|
|
Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen brown; the shafts of the antennae obscurely ringed with white, the thorax and abdomen with a little bluish pubescence in fresh specimens; beneath: the palpi, thorax and abdomen white. Female has the upperside brown, without any blue or green irroration. Forewings and hindwings: markings much as in the male, the discal spots always somewhat more prominent. Underside as in the male; the discal spots generally more prominent and followed in some specimens by two or three posterior, large, diffuse brown markings.

Leucophlebia xanthopis is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania. It is similar to, but differs from Leucophlebia afra in having all the pink areas of the wings and body above much brighter and darker, providing little contrast between the palpi and frons and the rest of the head and thorax. In the more extreme form xanthopis the lower margin of the creamy forewing band is indented between the veins in form rosulenta it is entire.
|
|
Forewing with a patch of purplish white on apex: hindwing with a broad transverse subterminal diffuse lilac band traversed by a series of lunular obscure brownish marks; termen of both forewing and hindwing brownish yellow. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen dark brown; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen pale lilacine white. Female has the upperside similar to that of the male, but forewings and hindwings crossed obliquely by broad, outwardly somewhat diffuse, prominent white discal and postdiscal bands. These bands slightly tinged with fuliginous and on the forewing somewhat lunular.
|
|
Forewing: the veins more or less broadly bordered with black, this edging broadened towards the termen; apex broadly, terminal margin decreasingly to the tornus, suffused with a somewhat obscure pearly-while lustre. Hindwing: the subcostal vein and veins 6, 7, and 8 broadly, the rest of the veins very narrowly edged with black; a very fine black line in interspace 1.

|
S. nudiseta The Synthesiomyia nudiseta fly is one of the largest muscids, roughly 7 to 10 mm in length. As an adult fly, its abdomen is gray with a pattern resembling a checkerboard, similar to the type found on flesh flies. This species can be misidentified as a small sarcophagid; however, it can be easily separated from sarcophagids because the thorax consists of four longitudinal stripes and the terminal segment of the abdomen is yellow instead of red. The antennae and palpi also are orange or yellow in color.
|
|
Some glands are specialized to perform certain task such as producing silk or producing saliva in the palpi. While the corpora cardiaca produce PTTH, the corpora allata also produces jeuvanile hormones, and the prothorocic glands produce moulting hormones. In the digestive system, the anterior region of the foregut has been modified to form a pharyngial sucking pump as they need it for the food they eat, which are for the most part liquids. An esophagus follows and leads to the posterior of the pharynx and in some species forms a form of crop.
|
|
Forewings and hindwings crossed transversely by discal and inner subterminal, somewhat lunular dark lines and a more or less obsolescent outer subterminal line of minute dark dots. These markings generally very indistinct but traceable; in some specimens more clearly defined but never prominent. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen dusky black; the antennae reddish at apex; in some specimens the head, the thorax laterally and the base of the abdomen brownish-mouse colour; beneath: the palpi, thorax and the basal half of the abdomen medially silvery white, the sides and apex of the abdomen dusky black.
|
|
Posterior wings also red brown; but towards the middle and shoulders of a purplish blue, which they reflect more or less according to the position they are held in. Under side: palpi and breast yellow. Anterior wings olive brown, tipped with white; but along the external edges of a hazel colour, and near the shoulders having three round black spots on each. Posterior wings similar to the anterior, being of a brown olive, variegated, and clouded, with three small spots placed near the shoulders, as in the superior ones.
|
|
Antennae black, palpi black above, bluish white below; head and thorax black, spotted with bluish white; abdomen brown above, sullied white below. Male without any special sex-marks on the wings. Race exprompta, Butler (Sri Lanka). Closely resembles D. vulgaris Butler, but has all the markings much broader, the apical spot in cell of forewing outwardly less emarginate; on the hindwing interspaces 1 a and 1 b are entirely filled with the white streak, while the short slender streak lying between the apices of the streaks in the cell coalesces with the lower one.
|
|
Hindwing is shaded with ochraceous at base and with a fuscous preapical spot on costa, also a few scattered transverse fuscous striations and small spots. Many specimens have the preapical spot continued as an obscure fuscous band across the wing and bear a series of large terminal fuscous spots that correspond to the black spots on the upperside. Both forewing and hindwings with black discocellular dots. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen black; antennae speckled with white on the sides, head and thorax clothed with short greyish-brown hairs; beneath the palpi, thorax and abdomen white.

The Culex vishnui Theobald mosquito species belongs to a sub-type that also includes two other carriers of the Japanese encephalitis virus - Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles and Culex pseudovishnui Colless. Since the females of these different species are difficult to morphologically distinguish from one another, an rDNA based diagnostic PCR is used for identification. Morphological identification of multiple JEV carrier mosquitoes including Cx. vishnui are based on identifying specific features of the legs, abdomen, palpi, wings, proboscises, and tarsi. The identification of Cx. vishnui is confirmed by verifying that the "anterior surface of hindfemur with pale stripe does not contrast with dark scaled area".
|
|
Posterior wings with only two rows of small faint dark crescents placed along the external edges. Underside: Palpi, legs, breast, abdomen, and anterior wings light clay coloured; the latter having two black streaks placed close to the anterior edges, near the middle, and a shade of dark brown along the external edges. Posterior wings along the upper part light clay; but towards the abdominal corners are darker. A dark-coloured narrow band rises at the middle of the anterior edges, which runs circularly towards the abdominal groove, but is lost in the general colour of the wing before it reaches that part.

He was later made as a foreman and spent most of his time identifying and arranging the collection of shells, echinoderms, and sponges, as well as preparing catalogues and price lists of these specimens for publication. In 1885, Wheeler returned to Milwaukee to teach German and physiology at a high school. At the time, George W. Peckham was the principal of the school, in which Wheeler and Peckham formed a close working relationship. Wheeler collaborated with some of Peckham's published papers by illustrating the palpi and epigynes of spiders, and by assisting him and his wife with their field work on wasps.

Dryinus rasnitsyni females are in total length with an overall body coloration thought to have been brown, though the head, chela, and palpi were a brick-red to brownish-yellow. The species is macropterous, with fore wings that are clear with a very slight darkening away from hyaline and hind-wings that are fully darkened. The chelae on the front pair of legs are modified into claws each with a pair of teeth just below the claw apex. The morphology of the claw is a key distinguishing feature between D. grimaldii and D. rasnitsyni, which has a much more spatulate shaped claw then that of D. grimaldii.

All Spilomelinae moths have well developed compound eyes, antennae and mouthparts, although in the genera Niphopyralis and Siga the proboscis is lost. Synapomorphic characters of the subfamily comprise minute or obsolete maxillary palpi, ventrally projecting fornix tympani, and the female genitalia's ductus bursae with a weak sclerotization or a granulose texture. The moths are furthermore characterized by an often bilobed praecinctorium, pointed spinula, and the absence of chaetosemata and of a retinacular hook. A gnathos or pseudognathos can be present or absent and is therefore of little diagnostic value, except for several genera of Agroterini, where the gnathos has a well-developed medial process.

These fossils were first studied by American entomologist William Morton Wheeler, whose type description of "Iridomyrmex" samlandica was published in the journal Schriften der Physikalisch-Ökonomischen Gesellschaft zu Königsberg. Both Y. geinitzi and Y. constrictus were both moved from Hypoclinea to the small related genus Bothriomyrmex in 1873 by Dalla Torre. In his 1915 paper The ants of Baltic Amber Wheeler suggested both species and the newly named "I." samlandica would be better placed in the genus Iridomyrmex and noted Y. geinitzi to be one of the most abundant ant species in the Baltic amber he had studied. Wheeler based the placement on the structuring of the labial and maxillary palpi.
|
|
The labial palpi are white and the face, head and thorax are pure white. The forewings are white with indistinct and ill-defined, light ochreous fuscous markings, the most persistent of these are a central longitudinal row of three large oblong spots, more or less connected by single dark scales, and a series of equidistant costal, apical and dorsal spots around the edge of the apical third of the wing. There are also two ochreous fuscous costal spots, one at basal third and one at the middle of the wing, and two or more dorsal spots, but none of these markings are very constant. The hindwings are light gray, the abdomen is dark fuscous and the legs are white.

Forewing: the discocellulars defined by dark lines, the apex with two short white streaks continued as a line of obscure white dots to interspace 1. Hindwing: the space between base of wing and subbasal dark line and between the median two dark lines darker ochraceous than the ground colour; the postdiscal lunular line with a dark shade beyond, traversed by a series of heavy slate-black lunules, and white, black-tipped obscure dots; the terminal reddish-brown band as on the upperside. Antennae black annulated with white; head, thorax and abdomen tawny; beneath paler, the palpi white.

An. sinensis is classified as a species complex, and is a member of An. hyrcanus group. The group is distinguished from other groups by the presence of pale bands (usually four) on the palpi and by the presence of a tuft of dark scales on the clypeus on each side in the female adult. It was first described by German naturalist Christian Rudolph Wilhelm Wiedemann in 1828, and became one of the earliest known species of Anopheles. Due to its similarity with other mosquitos and geographical diversity, the species was redescribed several times by different taxonomists, with names like An. yesoensis (1913), An. sineroides (1924), An. lesetri (1936), An. pullus (1937), and An. yatsushiroensis (1951).

Zaitzev (1991) was the first to give characters warranting raising the group to family level. Subsequent workers have followed Zaitzev's lead and treat the group as a separate family. The family is separated from the Bombyliidae by the unbranched wing vein R4+5 (branched in Bombyliidae), the extremely reduced or absent maxillary palpi (present in Bombyliidae), wings held together over the abdomen at rest (held at an angle in Bombyliidae), and the abdominal spiracles being placed in the terga (placed in the pleural membrane in Bombyliidae). Augmenting the morphological characters, it is also a much older lineage than any known Bombyliidae, dating from as far back as the Middle Jurassic (Palaeoplatypygus Kovalev; Callovian: 163–168 mya) with other genera known from the Cretaceous (Procyrtosia Hennig and Proplatypygus Zaitzev).

Differs from Ceratogyrus by the lack of a foveal tubercle/procurved fovea. Female Augacephalus are separated from those of Eucratoscelus by the unmodified (not incrassate) tibiae of leg IV. Male Augacephalus are separated from those of Eucratoscelus and Pterinochilus by lacking the distal proventral tibial apophysis or by the reduced surmounted megaspine. Further separated from Eucratoscelus by the absence of a distal proventral tumid protuberance on metatarsus I. The presence of a distal prodorsal spine on metatarsi III and IV further separates Augacephalus from Eucratoscelus. Female Augacephalus are separated from those of Pterinochilus by the absence of long emergent setae on the chelicerae (giving them a velvety appearance), their robust palpi and legs I–II, and by the position of their posterior sternal sigilla (an impressed sclerotized spot).

Underside very closely resembles a dry leaf; ground colour very variable, but usually some shade of brown (rusty, greyish, and yellowish browns being the most common), always with scattered dark dots or little dark patches having the appearance of fungus-like or lichenous growths so common on dead leaves in the tropics. When the insect closes its wings over its back the likeness to a dead leaf is most striking, and is heightened by a straight transverse, narrow, dark band running from the apex of the forewing to the tornus of the hindwing, often with oblique narrower similar bands or lines given off from it, all simulating very closely the midrib and lateral veins of a leaf. The hindwing in all specimens has a more or less obsolescent or faint series of postdiscal ocelli, traces of which are also apparent on the forewing. Antennae dark brown; head, thorax, and abdomen dark violescent brown; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen paler earthy brown.

Underside ochraceous light brown, shaded with orange-yellow on apex of forewing and on the anterior portion of the postdiscal band on the hindwing; the markings similar on the upperside but somewhat diffuse, the discoidal streak and posterior half of inner sub- terminal band on forewing and the postdiscal band posteriorly on the hindwing suffused with very pale bluish pink; the interspaces of the ground colour smallish darker brown blotches, forming on the hindwing a conspicuous discal transverse series of spots in the interspaces; the dorsal margin of the hindwing broadly bluish white. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen above dark brownish black, the thorax and base of the abdomen respectively crossed by a bar of bluish white; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen bluish white.

Underside: greyish brown. Forewing: two short white lines, one each side of the discocellulars; a minute black subcostal dot above apex of cell, another similar dot a little beyond it; two parallel, obliquely placed, transverse, upper discal white lines, followed by an inner and an outer obliquely placed, irregular, broken, subterminal line also white, the inner one somewhat lunular, and an anteciliary dark line; the posterior third from base of the wing uniform, somewhat paler than the rest. Hindwing: the following black white-encircled spots conspicuous: 4 subbasal spots in transverse order, a subcostal spot in middle of interspace 7, two minute geminate (paired) spots at the tornal angle, and a larger one in interspace 2; two transverse short white lines on either side of the discocellulars as on the forewing; a transverse, curved, catenolated, discal band of white markings, followed by a postdiscal and subterminal series of white lunules and an anteciliary dark line edged inwardly with white. Antennae dark brown, the shafts ringed with white; apex of club also white; head, thorax and abdomen dark brown, the thorax in fresh specimens with a little purplish-blue pubescence; beneath: palpi, thorax, and abdomen white.

Male is similar to the wet- season brood, but on the upperside, the black on the apex and termen of the forewing not nearly so broad, on the latter often not reaching vein 1; on the hindwing the black is reduced to a sparse powdering of black scales along the termen. Dry-season brood at Jayanti, Duars, West Bengal Underside: similar to that of the wet-season brood but the greenish-yellow suffusion replaced entirely by ochraceous brown; on the hindwing the white markings of the wet- season form replaced by a paler ochraceous shade than on the rest of the wing; the veins all broadly bordered with irrorated black scaling; the discal obscure transverse band more or less as in specimens of the wet-season brood, but often obsolescent. Antennae black, head and thorax anteriorly ochraceous brown, thorax medially and posteriorly with long bluish-grey pile, abdomen black with short white hair-like scaling; beneath: the palpi ochraceous with some black hairs, thorax ochraceous brown, abdomen white. Female very similar to those of the wet-season female, but the blackish-brown colouring on the upperside paler and duller in tint.

Forewing: with the following fuscous-brown markings: a short transverse line on the discocellulars; a postdiscal transverse series of elongate spots or extremely short bars, the posterior three placed slightly en echelon, the one nearest the costa shifted well inwards; beyond this a transverse unbroken line, a subterminal series of small spots and an anteciliary dark line; costal margin somewhat broadly shaded with very pale brownish grey. Hindwing: a minute spot on dorsum near base of wing, a series of three subbasal spots placed obliquely across the wing and beyond them a much larger round subcostal spot in interspace 7, black; a short dusky brown line on the discocellulars, a brown spot above it in base of interspace 6; a transverse posterior discal series of five spots also brown, the upper four in a slight curve, the lowest shifted outwards out of line with the others; lastly, terminal transverse markings much as on the forewing, only the fuscous brown hue on the inner side of the subterminal series of spots replaced by a series of connected slender lunules. Cilia of forewings and hindwings grey. Antenna, head, thorax and abdomen dark brown, the antennae ringed with white; beneath: palpi, thorax and abdomen greyish white.
