The Class Names given above are unsuitable for use in lessons to junior scholars. They are derived 
from the following Greek words:—ptera, wings; a-, none; hemi, half; orthos, straight; neuron, a 
nerve; hymen, a membrane; di, two; lepidos, a scale; koleos, a sheath. All except those in the first 
three classes have the life cycle: egg^larva-pupa-insect.
