nervule

From either nervure + -ule or nerve + -ule.

A close examination of the wing will always show a partially atrophied disco-cellular, connecting these nervules of the discoidal with either the subcostal or the median nervures, even when one of them has been described as quite free.

1845, Edward Doubleday, “Remarks on the Genus Argynnis”, in Transactions of the Linnean Society, volume 19, page 481:

The origin of the first and second median nervules corresponds to that of the two superior subcostal nervules; and the nervule closing the cell unites with the apical portion of the median nervule at a right angle.

1875, S. H. Scudder, “On the Structure and Transformations of Eumæus Atala”, in Memoirs of the Boston Society of Natural History, Volume 2, Part 4, Number 2, page 415:

2003, W. J. Holland, Cassia B. Farkas (editor), Field Guide to Butterflies, Revised and Updated Edition, page 12,
The branches of these compound veins are known as nervules. The median vein always has three nervules. The nervules of the subcostal veins branch up and outward, with from four to five subcostal nervules, toward the costal margin and the apex of the forewing.

(entomology) A minor vein in a wing of an insect.


ptilinum

Borrowed from New Latin ptilīnum, itself an adaptation of the French ptiline.

As for the structure of the ptilinum itself, Strickland (1953) reported that the ptilina of Conopidae 'are voluminous and represent the most rugged type of ptilinum which we have encountered'.

1972, Graham C. D. Griffiths, The Phylogenetic Classification of Diptera Cyclorrhapha, page 243:

1980, Stuart E. Reynolds, Integration of Behaviour and Physiology in Ecdysis, Michael J. Berridge, J. E. Treherne, Vincent Brian Wigglesworth, Advances in Insect Physiology, Volume 15, page 500,
Certainly, the ptilinum, a special eversible sac on the head which is evidently a "hatching" structure, is instrumental in causing the puparium to crack along its line of weakness, a longitudinal line around the anterior end, which meets a circular line extending around the anterior margin of what was the 4th visible segment of the larvae cuticle (Laing, 1935).

The suture is of the nature of an extremely narrow slit, along the margins of which the wall of the head is invaginated to form a membranous sac or ptilinum, and the walls of the latter are seen to consist of the same layers as the integument.[…]The purpose of the ptilinum is to thrust off the anterior end of the puparium at a time when the contained imago is ready to emerge and to force the fly through soil, etc. (Fraenkel, 1936).

1994, Augustus Daniel Imms, R. Richard Gareth Davies, Owain Westmacott Richards, Imms’ General Textbook of Entomology, volume 1, page 953:

Push through the ground is accompanied by and partially brought about by alternate eversion and retraction of the blood-filled sac at the anterior end of the head — the ptilinum.[…]When the fly appears above ground, no resistance is felt by the ptilinum, and signals cease to be received by the sensory nerve fibers.

2004, D.R. Khanna, Advanced Embryology, page 55:

(zoology, entomology) A bladder-like pouch on the head of schizophoran flies that by expanding enables the fly to emerge from its puparium.

ptiline

bladder-like pouch on the head of some flies


calypter

From New Latin calyptra, from Ancient Greek κᾰλύπτρα (kălúptra, “hood”), from κᾰλύπτω (kălúptō, “I cover”).

der

The acrosticals are irregularly paired, with numerous accessory setulae between the rows; the lower calypters protrude distinctly beyond the margin of the upper;[…].

1947, Maurice T. James, Miscellaneous Publication 61: The Flies that Cause Myiasis in Man, U.S. Department of Agriculture, page 122:

The wings are hyaline and slightly smoky yellowish, while the calypters and wing fringes are pale yellowish (Steyskal, 1980).

2002, Elen L. Aguiar-Menezes, Euripides B. Menezes, Paolo Cesar R. Cassino, Marco A. Soares, “12: Passion Fruit”, in Jorge E. Peña, Jennifer L. Sharp, M. Wysoki, editors, Tropical Fruit Pests and Pollinators, page 373:

Traditionally this taxon^([Schizophora]) is subdivided into Calyptratae and Acalyptratae, based respectively on the strong or reduced development of the lower calypter.

Midway between Bloomfontein and Kimberley, while riding with Major Beresford, of the South African Constabulary, at the foot of some low hills in the Karoo bush, I came across great numbers of the footgangers.

We passed several swarms of locusts in the footganger stage; but owing to the lateness of their appearance the damage they effected was slight, though we met many people coming from the west, whose crops had been utterly destroyed.

haplometrosis

(entomology) The establishment of an ant colony by a single queen.


pleometrosis

(entomology) The establishment of an ant colony by multiple queens.


polydomy

From poly- + Ancient Greek δόμος (dómos, “house”) + -y.

Thus polydomy ensues when an entire colony breaks up into several nesting aggregations.

1987, Jörg Eder, Chemistry and biology of social insects, page 35:

The outpost phenomenon probably accounts for many cases of polydomy, defined as the dispersal of the colony into multiple nest sites.

1990, Bert Hölldobler, The Ants, page 390:

Although this uncertainty exists, the lack of absolute male bias confirms that seasonal polydomy is not a major influence on the population sex ratio.

1995, Andrew F. G. Bourke, Social Evolution in Ants, page 187:

(entomology) The situation where an ant colony is established across multiple nest sites.


spermatophagy

Spermatophagy, a rare habit of feeding on seeds or the outer layers of a fruit, is typified by species in the scolytid genus Poecilips (Coccotrypes).

1975, Pest management papers, numbers 2-7, Simon Fraser University, page 37:

The degree of carnivory/spermatophagy and preferences for food depend on the food choices available to a carabid.

2010, Ingrid H. Williams, Biocontrol-Based Integrated Management of Oilseed Rape Pests:

Spermatophagy (or spermophagy) as used by bark beetle researchers denotes species breeding in seeds and the surrounding fruit tissues.

2014, Fernando E. Vega, editor, Bark Beetles: Biology and Ecology of Native and Invasive Species:

(entomology) Of certain beetles, the consumption of fruits or seeds.


sphragis

The plastic mass begins to harden quite rapidly, probably within a few minutes but, as largely hollow sphragides have been dissected from pairs killed in copula, possibly more than one ejaculation may be required to complete the body of the sphragis.

1999, Roger Laurence Kitching, Biology of Australian Butterflies, page 129:

Mated females of many acraeine species bear an unusual structure around their genital opening. Such structures are called sphragides (singular: sphragis), or more rarely spermatophragma (Ehrlich & Ehrlich, 1978; Orr, 1995).

2008, Andrew F. E. Neild, The butterflies of Venezuela:

Bert first began studying sphragides in the Australian Big Greasy. The male, patterned in red, white, and black, is larger than the female and violent in his mating.

2009, Sharman Apt Russell, An Obsession With Butterflies: Our Long Love Affair With A Singular Insect:

(zoology, especially entomology) A mating plug in the genital opening of a female, formed from a waxy secretion deposited by a male during mating.


pleurostoma

From pleuro- (“lateral”) + Ancient Greek στόμα (stóma, “mouth”).

(entomology, anatomy) Part of the subgenal area above the mandible of an insect


postpetiolar

(anatomy, entomology) Of or pertaining to the postpetiole


trialate

en-adj

trialate (comparative more trialate, superlative most trialate)

more trialate (comparative)
most trialate (superlative)

(entomology, botany) Having three wings or wing-like structures.


metaventrite

The anterior pronotal angles are produced forward, the metaventrite is very short and the hind wings are absent.

2013, Adam Slipinski, Australian Beetles Volume 1: Morphology, Classification and Keys:

Mesocoxal cavities usually subcircular, narrowly to moderately widely separated, usually open laterally but occasionally closed by confluent meso- and metaventrites.

2014, Richard A.B. Leschen, Morphology and Systematics: Phytophaga, page 203:

(entomology) A ventral plate of the thorax lying behind and between the mesocoxal cavities.


ventrite

The plesiomorphic condition of abdominal ventrites II and III in Rhagovelia is interpreted to be one in which these ventrites are flat or broadly arched and of form similar to ventrites IV-VI.

1997, Dan Avery Polhemus, Systematics of the Genus Rhagovelia:

A rather widespread modification affecting the ventrites of beetles is what is known as “connation”, involving a reduction or complete loss of mobility at the junction between particular ventrites, usually starting with the basal ones.

2013, R. A. Crowson, The Biology of the Coleoptera, page 61:

Ventrites that are fused together, as evidenced by shallow or obsolete sutures, are said to be fused or connate, while “free” ventrites are those that are separated by distinct membranes.

2014, Arthur V. Evans, Beetles of Eastern North America:


postpedicel

From post- + pedicel.
Proposed by entomologist Brian R. Stuckenberg in 1999 due to disputes about the homology of the structure formerly known as the first flagellomere or third segment of the antenna.

...at least the multisegmented arista is beyond the pedicel in addition to the large antennomere, and postpedicel is thus ambiguous and lacking in precision.

satyrization

en-noun

satyrization (usually uncountable, plural satyrizations)

term-label

(American spelling, Oxford British English)

satyrizations (plural)
satyrisation (alternative)

/ˌseɪtəɹaɪˈzeɪʃən/

From satyr (“sylvan deity represented as part man and part goat, characterized by riotous merriment and lasciviousness; lecherous man”) + -ization (suffix forming nouns denoting the act, process, or result of doing or making something), possibly coined by American scientist Jose M. C. Ribeiro and American entomologist Andrew Spielman (1930–2006) in a 1986 article: see the quotation.

suffix

A "satyr" is any male that successfully mates and reduces the reproductive success of a female of a different species or population. We sought to model the interaction of such potentially intermating species that are initially isolated in space but come to occupy overlapping niches. [...] Species extinction may result from reproductive competition (satyrization) alone.

1986 October, J. M. C. Ribeiro, A[ndrew] Spielman, “The Satyr Effect: A Model Predicting Parapatry and Species Extinction”, in The American Naturalist, volume 128, number 4, Chicago, Ill.: University of Chicago Press, →ISSN, →JSTOR, →OCLC, abstract, pages 513–528:

Collectively, these data are supportive of the Ae[des] albopictus satyrization hypothesis; but, much work must be done for a definitive answer to the very important question of whether sex peptide asymmetries are highly influential in satyrizations.

1994, Paul A. Hedin, Julius J. Menn, Robert M. Hollingworth, editors, Natural and Engineered Pest Management Agents: Developed from the Conference on Natural and Derived Pest Management Agents Sponsored by the Division of Agrochemicals, Snowbird, Utah, August 9–14, 1992 (ACS Symposium Series; 551), Washington, D.C.: American Chemical Society, →ISBN, page 203:

Although there is some evidence to support the occurrence of this mechanism, also known as satyrization, in natural populations of ticks and tsetse flies (Ribeiro 1988), its importance as a population reduction mechanism among mosquitoes remains unsubstantiated.

2007, Thomas G. Floore, editor, Biorational Control of Mosquitoes (Supplement to the Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association; volume 23, issue 2), Mount Laurel, N.J.: American Mosquito Control Association, →OCLC, page 278:

Sterility caused by cross-mating between Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti (a process known as satyrisation) may have initially contributed to the observed competitive reduction of Aedes aegypti by invasive Aedes albopictus in many areas of Florida.

2013, Helen Wallace, “Impacts of Population Changes on Other Mosquito Species”, in Genetically Modified Mosquitoes: Ongoing Concerns (TWN Biotechnology & Biosafety Series; 15), Penang, Malaysia: Third World Network, →ISBN, archived from the original on 2021-02-09, page 21:

Additional experiments demonstrating transfer of labelled semen from A[edes] albopictus males to A. aegypti females and low production of viable eggs of females housed with conspecific males, following exposure to A. albopictus males, confirm higher incidences of satyrization than expected, based on heterospecific insemination rates. We conclude that frequencies of satyrization based on detection of interspecific sperm in spermathecae may underestimate the impact of this form of reproductive interference.

2015 September, María C. Carrasquilla, L. Philip Lounibos, “Satyrization without Evidence of Successful Insemination from Interspecific Mating between Invasive Mosquitoes”, in Biology Letters, volume 11, number 9, London: Royal Society Publishing, →DOI, →ISSN, →OCLC, →PMID, abstract:

Quantifying satyrisation by assessing interspecific sperm in spermathecae underestimates the capacity of male A[edes] albopictus to reduce the fitness of virgin female A. aegypti.

2016 September, Steven A. Juliano, L. Philip Lounibos, “Invasions by Mosquitoes: The Roles of Behaviour across the Life Cycle”, in Judith S[hulman] Weis, Daniel Sol, editors, Biological Invasions and Animal Behaviour, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire: Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, pages 258–259:

US researchers have added another piece to the puzzle that is satyrisation, one of the most complex aspects of the mosquito world. It only occurs in mosquitoes, in fact, but is of increasing interest as mosquito-borne diseases emerge as problems worldwide. In Greek mythology a satyr is a lusty fertile woodland deity, but satyrisation is the opposite. It occurs when the male of one species mates with the female of another, but instead of producing a hybrid, the result is no offspring at all. In fact, the unfortunate female is rendered sterile. Satyrisation is also the mechanism by which introduced mosquito species displace native mosquito species, particularly island endemics.

2019 January 27, Tanya Loos, “Unravelling the Secrets of Satyrisation”, in Cosmos: The Science of Everything, Adelaide, S.A.: Royal Institution of Australia, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2020-05-28:

In several areas where Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae) have come in contact following successful invasions, Ae. aegypti have been rapidly displaced by Ae. albopictus. Recent work has confirmed that mating interference, in the form of satyrization, is likely a driving factor in these competitive displacements. However, in sites of sympatry, Ae. aegypti females evolve resistance to satyrization, and in the laboratory, satyrization-susceptible Ae. aegypti can evolve resistance within a few generations of cage exposure to Ae. albopictus.

physogastry

From physo- + Ancient Greek γαστήρ (gastḗr, “belly”) + -y.

One of the most bizarre modifications of the beetle abdomen is known as physogastry. Physogastry is a condition in which the abdomen is enlarged. usually through increased growth of the connective membranes, expansion of the internal fat bodies, and subsequent secondary sclerotization of the abdominal sclerites.

2000, Arthur V. Evans, An Inordinate Fondness for Beetles, page 64:

The development of queen physogastry is considered to mark the end of the founding stage. It is often difficult to determine the time required for a queen to become physogastric in termite colonies.

2014, Y. Abe, Termites: Evolution, Sociality, Symbioses, Ecology, page 337:

The most striking characteristic of many termitophiles is physogastry, or the excessive enlargement of the abdomen, which closely resembles that of the hosts and especially that of the old queens.

2015, William Morton Wheeler, The Social Insects: Their Origin and Evolution, page 266:

(entomology) An enlargement of the abdomen in certain insects, especially in termite queens.

scolopale

en-noun

scolopale (plural scolopalae or scolopales)

The organ is composed of a somewhat restricted number of scolopalae, which are connected with sense cells that are also few in number.

1948, Kjell Ehnbom, Studies on the Central and Sympathetic Nervous System and Some Sense Organs in the Head of Neuropteroid Insects:

These scolopidia respond only to extreme depression of the tarsus and thus length differences of the scolopales can account for their angular sensitivity.

1976, Peter John Mill, Structure and Function of Proprioceptors in the Invertebrates, page 348:

This ciliary portion of the dendrite runs through a fluid-filled extracellular space, surrounded by the scolopale cell, and then the dendrite expands into the ciliary dilatation before entering the cap.

1989, Franz Huber, Thomas Edwin Moore, Werner Loher, Cricket Behavior and Neurobiology, →ISBN, page 400:

The side of the scolopale facing the cilium is smooth, whereas the side facing the cytoplasm of the scolopale cell is irregular. Proximal to the cilium, the scolopale divides into short columns which fit into invaginations of the dendrite.

2012, A. B. Borkovec, Edward P. Masler, Insect Neurochemistry and Neurophysiology, →ISBN, page 434:

(entomology) A tube-like structure on the chordotonal organ of an insect.

suf

This new term, then, is echeme, defined as: a first-order assemblage of syllables.
