25 Hexapoda and Myriapoda Flashcards
mandibles
mouthparts
mandibles derived from the
coxa
seta
fine cuticular hairs
seta functions
can be sensory
assist in locomotion
protective covering
camouflage
create patterns
entomology
study of insects
Insecta
class of hexapod
Collembola
Class of hexapods
springtails
Entognatha
may not be a
monophyletic group
hexapods share these features
Resp tagma
Mandibles
Limbs antennae
-1 pair of antennae
-single-articled mandibles
-tracheae and spiracles
uniramous limbs
3 tagmata: head, thorax, abdomen
Entognatha mandibles enclosed by
cheeks
entognathous
internal mandibles Entognatha
articulate with head with single condyle
Collembola species appendage
furcula
furcula function
used for
jumping
water anwater and ion regulation Collembola
collophore(ventral tube)
Collembola eyes
ocelli
why are protura unique among hexapoda
completely lacking antennae
Collembola Protura and Diplura ijn group called
Entognatha
Insecta eyes
-compound eyes
-often also have ocelli
in insects, mandibles are
ectognathous
ectognathous
mandibles are not
enclosed in cheeks
Archaeognatha
bristletails
part of insecta
bristletails mandibles
only one condyle on mandible joint
excluding bristletails, insects have mandibles with
dicondylic mandibular joint
2 condyle
Archaeognatha appendages
ventral jointed appendages on their abdomens
what did Archaeognatha and Thysanura evolve prior to
evolved prior to the evolution of wings
apterygote (no wings)
most insects have how many wings
2 pairs of wings
what are insect wings a synapomorphy of
clade Pterygota
what have some insects lots
secondarily lost wings
what is the ancestral form of wing bases
what is this caled
relatively fixed wing bases
palaeopterous condition
Neoptera
pterygote insects w more flexible wing bases
ancestral state isntead of flexible wing base
-both pairs of wings membranous
-some rigid forewings
-reduction in size of one pair
different flight muscles attachment
direct - attached to the wing
indirect - act on the thorax
cool thing bout dragonflies
both types of flight muscles attachment
