Head Capsule Terminology
Data type: terminology
Explanation note: Updated standardized terminology of external head capsule morphology with historical usage of topographically homologous terms. Morphological terminology of the external structures on the praying mantis head capsule are organized alphabetically by the updated standardardized terminology. Historical usage of topographically homologous structures are traced in reverse chronological order in subsequent columns. Plural spellings, abbreviations, and figure references for the standardized terminology are listed to aid in the identification of specific structures. † Levereault (1936: 219) referred to the region of the cranial vertex that contains the juxtaocular bulges as the “temporal sclerites,” but did not provide a name for the juxtaocular bulges themselves.
