Each cuticular abdo- minal segment consists of two plates, tergite (dorsal) and sternite (ventral), united on the sides by a softer mem- brane which contains the spiracles. Head and thorax, on the other hand, have a constant number of somites. The thorax is plainly divided into three segments, pro-, meso- and meiatliorax, each composed of three elements, an unpaired dorsal piortion, notum; a pair if lateral plates, pleura; and an nnpaired ventral sternum (fig. 484). For sim- plicity one speaks of j^ronotum, meso- sternum, etc., to indicate the portions of maxXry%t'ip??';;??:'nltiiiTr: the Separate segments. The head is a ", occiput; I', vertex. contintious capsnle in which the follow- ing parts are recognized: in front and dorsal dypeus and frons; dorsal and posterior a vertex and an occiput; laterally gc)w, ven- trally a ijula. 'J'he appendages show that the head is composed of at least four somites. The view that the consists of six somites is based on the existence of two more segments without appendages in the embryo, a preantennal and a postantennal (intercalary, premandibular), as well as the knowledge tliat the brain, in which formerly only antennal ganglia were recognized, consists of three pairs of ganglia (proto-, deuto-, and trito-cerebrum)..
