The mouth parts in the adult are atrophied and functionless, while in the nymiph they are highly developed. But one feature of them needs mention here, however; that is the armature of the mandible. By comparing , , and , , it will be seen.

This is of chief importance because 1) the venation is perfectly definite and easily observed; 2) it suffers least distortion in pre- served specimens; 3) it remains the same through the different developmental stages, and 4) the wings are better retained than the other appendages, and progress is better in using a key if the structures mentioned in it have not been lost.
