AN INTRODUCTION TO ENTOMOLOGY

mon in the Ephemerida, where most of the intercalary veins remain 

 distinct from the veins between which they were developed, being 



connected with 

 them only by 

 cross-veins, the 

 proximal end of 

 the intercalary 

 vein being free 

 (Fig. 83). 



When it is 

 desirable to re- 

 fer to a parti- 

 cular interca- 

 lary vein it can 



be done by combining the initial /, indicating intercalary, with the 

 designation of the area of the wing in which the intercalary vein occurs. 

 For example, in the wings of most May-flies there is an intercalary 

 vein between veins Cui and Cu2, i e. in the area Cui ; this intercalary 

 vein is desig- 

 nated as ICui. 

 The adven- 

 titious veins. 

 In certain in- 

 sects there are 

 secon dary 

 veins that are 

 neither acces- 

 sory veins nor 

 intercalary 

 veins as de- 

 fined above; 

 these are 

 termed adven- 

 titious veins. 

 Examples of 

 these are the 

 supplements of

certain Odonata and the spurious vein of the Syrphidas. 



The anastomosis' of veins. The typical arrangement of wing-veins 

 is of tea modified by an anastomosis of adjacent veins; that is, two
