The next principal region of the body in Insects is the thorax, which is con- nected with the head by a slender neck. It consists of three segments, and bears three pairs of legs and usually two pairs of wings on the dorsal surface. These three segments, the prothorax, the meso- thorax and the metathorax are rarely simple horny rings, but are usually com- posed of several parts united by sutures. In each segment a dorsal plate, lateral regions and a ventral plate can be dis- tinguished. These may be termed notum, pleura and sternum respectively, and they may further be described, according to the segments in which they occur, as pro-, meso- and meta-notum, and pro-, meso-, and meta-sternum. The lateral regions are divided into an anterior piece (epiatemum) and a posterior (epimerum), FIG. 433.—Mcuth parts of Nepti cinerea (after Sa-, vigny).
