Anal organs: CoHcmbola; the two modified hairs arising from a tubercle 

 ventro-cephalad of the anus and usually curving caudo-dorsad. 



Anal orifice: see anus. 



Anal papilla: CoHcmbola; see anal tubercle. 



Anal plate: in caterpillars, the shield-like covering of the dorsum of the last 

 segment: in the embryonic larva the llth tergite. 



Anal ring: a chitinous ring encircling the anus in many Coccidoe. ' 



Anal scale: one of the lateral processes of the ovipositor in Cynipida:, lying 

 outside and below the lateral scale. 



Anal siphon: the anal breathing tube of Culicid larvae. 



Anal style: a slender process on or within the terminal segment of the ab- 

 domen in Homoptera. 



Anal tubercle: CoHcmbola; the tubercle bearing the anal organs : = anal 

 papilla. 



Anal tubercles: a pair of prominent, rounded or conical processes, situate 

 one on each side of the anus in certain Coccids. 



Anal valves: see podical plates. 



Anal veins: those longitudinal unbranched veins extending from base to 

 outer margin below the cubitus ; the first anal, also termed vena dividens, 

 q. v., is the 6th of the series starting from the base, and it may be followed 

 by several others which are numbered in order to the inner margin. 



Anastomosing: inosculating or running into each other. 



Anastomosis: a running together; usually applied to wing veins, often to 

 markings ; sometimes used like stigma, q. v. ; also in N euro pt era, a series 

 of cross-veinlets nearly in one row ; a connecting series of veinlets. 



Anceps: two-edged; similar to ensiform, q. v. 



Ancestral: primitive; inherited from an earlier form or ancestor. 



Anchor process: = breastbone, q. v. 



Anchylosed: grown together at a joint. 



Ancipital: with two opposite edges or angles. 



Androconia: specialized, usually small scales of peculiar form, found local- 

 ized on some male butterflies. 



Androgynous: uniting the characters of both sexes. 



Aneurose: a wing without veins except near costa. 



Angle: of tegmina, "is the longitudinal ridge formed along the interno- 

 median by the sudden flexure from the horizontal to the vertical portion 

 when closed." 



Angular area: Hym.; the posterior of the three areas on the metanotum be- 

 tween the lateral and pleural carinse ; = 3d pleural area. 



Angulate: forming an angle; when two margins meet in an angle. 



Angulose: having angles. 



Angulus: forming an angle := angulate. 



Angustatus: narrowed; narrowly drawn out. 



Anisoptera: that division of the Odonata in which the hind wings are wider, 

 especially at base, than the front wings. 



Annectent: applied to connecting or intermediate forms. 



Annelet or annellus: Hym.; small ring-joints between scape and funicle.
