. The butterflies of the eastern United States. For the use of classes in zoology and private students. Butterflies. EASTERN UNITED STATES. 29 and on each «ide a small, scaly piece covering the base of the fore wings, and known as the shoulder-tuft, lap- pet, or pterygoid. The second and third thoracic joints bear each a pair of wings. These are composed of mem- branes supported by a framework of slender, tapering tubes between the membranes. The Fig. 6 fore wings are the largest, triangular. in general outline, while the hind wings are more or less rounded or square. The veins or framework are nominally five principal veins,—the costal, sub- costal, median, sub- median, and internal. The first two are close together near the front edge of the wing, and form the costa (see Fig. 6). The median passes through the middle from the base to near the outer third, where it usually joins the sub- costal by a cross-vein; and from this and the cross-vein are given off several branches, the subcostal also being branched on its upper side, more in the fore wings than in the hind. The area between the subcostal and median veins is known as the discal cell, or the cell, the branches Fore and hind wing of a butterfly: 1, fore wing; a, costal vein ; b, subcostal vein ; 61, 6 2, b 3, 6 4, b 5, five subcostal veinlets; c, in- dependent vein ; d, median vein ; d 1, cl 2, d 3, d 4, four median veinlets; e, submedian vein ; /, internal vein; 6 and d are situated in the discal cell; gl, g 2, gZ, the upper, middle, and lower discal veinlets; 11, hind wing (the lettering the same)..
