350 ORISMOLOGY. 



8. UNCINATE (Uncinatae). Nervures, that after run- 



ning from the base towards the apex, turn back, 

 and running a little towards the base, form a hook. 

 Ex. Strategus Aloeus. PLATE X. FIG. 4. i\ 



9. RECURRENT (Recurrent es}. When a nervure, or a 



branch of it, after running towards the apex of the 

 wing, turns backhand runs towards the base. Ex. 

 Strategic Aloeus, &c. PLATE X. FIG 4. /'. 

 10. CONNECTING (Connectentcs). Nervures that run- 

 ning transversely or obliquely connect the longi- 

 tudinal ones, and so form the areolets. 



/. Areolets. 



1 . RADIATED (Radiate). When the areolets are chiefly 



formed by radiating longitudinal nervures. Ex. 

 Forficula, Psychoda. PLATE X. FIG. 5, 13. 



2. ARE ATE (Areate). Radiated with a large basal 



area. Ex. Papilio and many other Lepidoptera*. 

 PLATE X. FIG. 6. 



3. AREOLATE (Areolatce). When the surface of the 



wing is divided into various areolets. Ex. Diptera, 

 Hymenoptera, and most Neuroptera. PLATE X. 

 FIG. 714. 



4. RETICULATE (Reticulate). When the areolets are 



extremely small and infinitely numerous. Ex. Li- 

 bellulina. PLATE III. FIG. 5. 



5. OPEN (Apertce). Areolets that terminate in the 



margin of the wing, or that are not surrounded 

 on all sides by nervures. 

 a. MARGINAL (Marginales). Open areolets that ter-
