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- tJtorax 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 <li- 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-, meyo-, and meta-sternuin. The lateral regions are divided into an anterior piece (episternum) and a posterior (epiin&ntm), Frc;. 433.—Mouth parts of Nepu cinereu (after Sa- vigny).
