USED IN ENTOMOLOGY. 11 



Costate, ribbed ; marked with elevated thickened lines. 



Coxae, the two-jointed base of the feet ; the apophysis, consisting 

 of the patella and trochanter. 



Craleriform, somewhat like calathiform, but not so much in- 

 flated, and rather approaching to infundibuliform. See urceo- 

 late. 



Crenate, scolloped ; differs from serrate and dentate in having 

 rounded teeth, not directed towards either end. 



Cruciate, cross-shaped; having the shape of a cross; (wings) 

 incumbent, but the inner margins lay one over the other. 



Crustaceous, somewhat hard, elastic, resisting the pressure of 

 the finger. 



Cubital-cellule, a portion of the superior wing, included be- 

 tween the nervure of the radial cellule and a nervure which 

 originates near the extremity of the cubitus, and runs in a 

 curvilinear direction towards the extremity of the wing ; it is 

 complete if this nervure reaches the posterior edge, and incom- 

 plete if the nervure is abbreviated ; it is often divided into two 

 or three parts by transverse nervures ; when one of these parts 

 or small cellules appears to be supported by a petiole it is 

 termed a petiolated cellule ; it is called submarginal cellule 

 by some authors. 



Cubitus, the second nervure of the exterior margin of the wing, 

 extending from the base to the carpus ; it is separated from 

 the radius by an intermediate membrane. 



Cucullate, cone-shaped ; hooded. 



Cultrate, shaped like a pruning-knife. 



Cuneiform, wedge-shaped ; broad and truncated at one end, and 

 attenuated to the other. 



Cupreous, coppery ; the colour of copper. 



Cuspidate, prickly-pointed; ending in a sharp point; an acu- 

 minated point ending in a bristle. See mucronate. 



Cursory, formed for running. See natatory. 



Cyathiform, wineglass-shaped ; more or less obconical and con- 

 cave. See calathiform, acetabuliform. 



Cyaneus, dark-blue, like prussian-blue. 



Cydariform, globose, but truncated at two opposite sides. 



Cymbiform, boat-shaped ; navicular. 



D. 



Deciduous, falling off easily. See caducus. 

 Decrepitant, crackling. 



Decumbent, bending down ; upright at base, and bending down 

 at tip. See procumbent.
