The chief characters of this large, l>ut tolerably well-defined, group 

 of insects depend upon the structure of the wings. In the state of 

 rest the anterior wings, as wing-covers (elytra), cover the posterior- 

 membranous wings which are transversely and longitudinally 

 folded, and lie horizontally on the abdomen (fig. 483). The hind 

 wings alone are used in flight, while the front wings are modified to 

 perform a protective function, and usually correspond in size and 

 form to the soft-skinned dorsal surface of the abdominal region, of
