We do not use for this purpose a figure of a wing of a neuropterous insect, as that would lessen the value, as a means of training, of the study of neuropterous wings which the student is to make. A. Fig. 10.—Hind wing of a nymph of a cockroach. nymph is used here, because in the many-veined insects the longitudinal veins, both primitive and accessory, are devel- oped about tracheae ; and it is much easier to determine the homologies of the tracheae of an immature wing than it is to determine the homologies of the wing-veins of the adult. And, too, in this way we are able to eliminate the cross- veins which are not preceded by tracheae in the cockroaches. Accessory veins added distally.—If the radial trachea of the nymph of a cockroach be examined (Fig. lo, /?), it will be seen that it bears many branches on its cephalic side ; each of these branches is enclosed by a vein in the adult state. The number of these veins is much greater than that of the.
