 Post-cerebral: applied to that pair of salivary glands in bees, situated close 



to the posterior wall of the head. 

 Post-clypeus : in Odonata. the upper of the two parts into which the clypeus 



is divided : in Psocidcc. a peculiar inflated structure behind the clypeus : in 



general, the posterior or upper part of clypeus when any line of demarcation 



exists : = supra-clypeus : nasus : afternose ; paraclypeus ; first clypeus ; clypeus 



posterior. 

 Post-COSta: =: sub-costa (Comst.) : in Odonata, = ist anal vein (Comst.) : in 



Tricho[>tcra ^ anal. 

 Post-costal space: Odonata: the cell or cells lying posterior to the post-costa ; 



^ anal cell (Comst.). 

 Post-cubitals: = post-nodal spaces: q. v. 

 Post-dorsulum: the middle piece of the meta-notum, between the meso- 



phragma and post-scutellum. 

 Post-embryonic -otic : the stage after the insect has come out of the egg. 

 Post-epistoma: that part of the head behind the clypeus in Hymenoptera : 



see also post-clypeus. 

 Posterior: hinder or hindmost; opposed to anterior: in Dipfera ; applied to 



that face of the legs which is not visible when viewed from the front, the 



legs being laterally extended. 

 Posterior angle: of thorax, in Coleoptera. is the lateral angle near base of 



elytra : of the wings ^ hind angle : anal angle ; q. v. 

 Posterior cells: in Diptera (Will.): ist = radial 5 (Comst.): 2d ^ medial i 



(Comst.) : 3d =: 2d medial 2 (Comst.) : 4th = medial 3 (Comst.) : sth =: 



cubitus I (Comst.). 

 Posterior cephalic foramen: in Odonata, the opening of head posteriorly 



through which the cavities of head and thorax communicate. 

 Posterior field: of tegmina, =: anal field; q. v. 



Posterior intercalary: in Diptera. is one of the anal veins (Comst.). 

 Posterior lateral margins: in Orthoptera. extend from base of pronotum 



downward to the posterior angle of sides. 

 Posterior lobe: of the pronotum in Orthoptera, see lobe: in Diptera, that 



part of wing between axillary incision and base; =: alar appendage (Loew). 

 Posterior margin: = inner margin ; q. v. 

 Posterior pereion: the meta-notum. 



Posterior pleon: the terminal segments of the abdomen. 

 Posterior pleopoda: the anal clasping legs of caterpillars: see planta. 

 Posterior stigmatal tubercle: on thoracic and abdominal segments of cater- 

 pillars; varies in position from substigmatal to stigmatal posterior; some- 

 times united to V: it is IV of the abdomen, II of the thorax (Dyar). 

 Posterior trapezoidal tubercle: on the thoracic and abdominal segments of 



caterpillars ; subdorsal, posterior, always present, rarely united with I : it 



is II of the abdomen, lb of the thorax (Dyar). 

 Posterior veins: those separating the posterior cells.
