BODY SEGMENTATION - STRUCTURE AND MODIFICATIONS OF INSECT ANTENNAE,
MOUTH PARTS AND LEGS, WING VENATION, MODIFICATIONS AND WING COUPLING
APPARATUS & SENSORY ORGANS

Insect body is differentiated into three distinct regions called head, thorax and abdomen (grouping

of body segments into distinct regions is known as tagmosis and the body regions are called as

tagmata).

I. HEAD

First anterior tagma formed by the fusion of six segments namely preantennary,

antennary, intercalary, mandibular, maxillary and labial segments. Head is attached or articulated

to the thorax through neck or Cervix. Head capsule is sclerotized and the head capsule excluding

appendages formed by the fusion of several sclerites is known as Cranium.

Sclerites of Head

i. Vertex: Summit of the head between compound eyes.

ii. Frons: Facial area below the vertex and above clypeus.

iii. Clypeus: Cranial area below the frons to which labrum is attached.

iv. Gena: Lateral cranial area behind the compound eyes.

v. Occiput : Cranial area between occipital an post occipital suture.

Sutures of Head

i. Epicranial suture: (Ecdysial line) Inverted `Y' shaped suture found medially on the top of

head, with a median suture (coronal suture) and lateral suture (frontal suture).

ii. Epistomal suture: (Fronto clypeal suture) found between frons and clypeus.

iii. Clypeo labral suture: Found between clypeus and labrum.

iv. Post occipital suture: Groove bordering occipital foramen. Line indicating the fusion of

maxillary and labial segment.

Posterior opening of the cranium through which aorta, foregut, ventral nerve cord and neck

muscles passes is known as Occipital foramen. Endoskeleton of insect cuticle provides space

,for attachment of muscles of antenna and mouthparts, called as Tentorium. The appendages like

a pair of compound eyes, 0-3 ocelli, a pair of antenna and mouth parts are called as Cephalic

appendages.

Functions of Head

i. Food ingestion

ii. Sensory perception

iii. Coordination of bodily activities

iv. Protection of the coordinating centers

TYPES OF INSECT HEADS

Based on the inclination of long axis of the head and orientation of mouth parts there are

three types of insect heads.

1) HYPOGNATHOUS (Hypo – below; gnathous – jaw)

This type is also called orthopteroid type. The long axis of the head is vertical. It is at right angles

to the long axis of the body. Mouth parts are ventrally placed and project downwards.

2) PROGNATHOUS (Pro- infront ; gnathous – jaw)

This type is also called coleopteroid type. The long axis of the head is horizontal. It is in line with

the long axis of the body. Mouth parts are directed foreward. Eg: groung beetles.

3) OPISTHOGNATHOUS (Opistho – behind ; gnathous – jaw)

This type is also called hemipteroid type or opisthorhychous. Head is deflexed. Mouth parts are

directed backwards and held in between the fore legs. Eg: Stink bug.

, II. THORAX

Second and middle tagma which is three segmented, namely prothorax, mesothorax and

metathorax. Meso and metathorax with wing are called as Pterothorax. Thorax is made up of

three scleritic plates namely, dorsal body plate (Tergum or Nota, ventral body plate (Sterna) and

lateral plate (Pleura).

Thoracic nota: Dorsal body plate of each thoracic segments are called as pronotum, mesonotum

and metanotum respectively.

Pronotum: this sclerite is undivided and Saddle shaped in grass hopper, Shield like in

cockroach.

Pterothoracic notum: Have 3 transverse sutures (Antecostal, Pre scutal and Scuto-scutellar)

and 5 tergites(Acrotergite, Prescutum, Scutum, Scutellum and Post-scutellum)

Thoracic sterna: Vental body plate of each thoracic segments are called as prosternum,

mesosternum and metasternum. Thoracic sterna is made up of a segmental plate called

Eusternun and a intersternite called Spinasternum. Eusternum is made up of three sclerites viz.,

presternum, basisternum and sternellum.

Thoracic pleura: Lateral body wall of thoracic segment between notum and sternum. Selerites of

pleuron is called as pleurites and they fuse to form Pleural plate. Pleural plate is divided into

anterior episternum and posterior epimeron by Pleural suture. Pterothoracic pleuron provides

space for articulation of wing and le.g. Thoracic appendages are three pairs of legs and two pairs

of wings. Two pairs of spiracles are also present in the mesopleuron and metapleuron.

Functions of thorax: Mainly concerned with locomotion.

III. ABDOMEN

Third and posterior tagma. This tagma is made up of 9-11 Uromeres (segments) and is

highly flexible. abdominal segments are telescopic in nature and are interconnected by a

membrane called conjunctiva. Each abdominal segment is made up of only two sclerite namely

dorsal body plate (tergum) and ventral body plate (sternum). Eight pairs of spiracles are present
