An additional twisting of the palpus and a fusion of the centrally located setae, which appears to have taken place in Uranotaenia, would account for the observed positions of the structures. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000795 seta 9-Mx http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001397 peglike seta The more dorsal (in culicines and toxorhynchitines) or the more mesal (in anophelines) of a pair of usually pedicel-borne peglike setae located dorsolaterally at the apex of the maxillary palpus. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000796 seta 10-Mx http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001394 foliform seta In anopheline larvae, the most dorsal of three usually foliform setae located mesally at the apex of the maxillary palpus. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000797 seta 11-Mx http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001394 foliform seta In anopheline larvae, the middle of the three usually foliform setae located at the apex of the maxillary palpus. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000798 seta 12-Mx http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001394 foliform seta In anopheline larvae, the most ventral of the three usually foliform setae located at the apex of the maxillary palpus. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000799 seta 13-Mx http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001397 peglike seta In anopheline larvae, a peglike seta located lateroventrally at the apex. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000800 seta 14-Mx http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001397 peglike seta In anopheline larvae, a flask- or conelike seta located laterally at the apex. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000801 seta 15-Mx http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001397 peglike seta In many culicine larvae, a tiny pincushion or peglike seta contained in a stalk, sack or chamber located centrally at the apex of the maxillary palpus; believed to represent the fused setae 10- and 11-Mx of anophelines. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000802 seta 1-Lh http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001397 peglike seta The paired, usually peglike seta occurring on the premental part of the labiohypopharynx between the salivary meatus and the lateral premental teeth; in anopheline larvae, quite small and sometimes difficult to distinguish from the denticles of the premental malae. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000803 seta 2-Lh to seta 6-Lh http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000772 mouth region seta The series of setae occurring on the vestigial labial palpus; four occur in culicines and toxorhynchitines and five in anophelines. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000804 seta 2-Lh http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001397 peglike seta The dorsalmost peglike seta occurring on each labial palpus. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000805 seta 3-Lh http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001397 peglike seta The peglike seta located immediately ventral to seta 2-Lh on each labial palpus. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000806 seta 4-Lh http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001397 peglike seta A peglike seta located immediately dorsal to seta 5-Lh on each labial palpus. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000807 seta 5-Lh http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001397 peglike seta The ventralmost peglike seta located on each labial palpus. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000808 seta 6-Lh http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0001394 foliform seta In anopheline larvae, in usually foliform or bladelike seta arising from each labial palpus beside the ligula. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000809 thoracic seta http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000738 larval seta In fourth stage larvae, maxima of the 15 pairs of setae are known on the prothorax, 14 on the mesothorax and 13 on the metathorax.

As in other Pterygota, the mesonotum of mosquitoes has retained the acrotergite and is defined in the classical sense as the notum of the mesothorax. Although it is understood that the notum of the metathorax includes the mesopostnotum, the term "metanotum" is customarily applied to the primary segmental sclerotization only. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000427 sternum The ventral sclerotization of a body segment, primary sternum; the definitive sternum, which in the thorax includes the primary sternum, the infracoxal sclerotization of the primitive subcoxal plate and sometimes the intersegmental spinasternum. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000430 pleural ridge The apodeme marked externally by the pleural suture; extending dorsad from the coxal articulation and separating the episternum from the epimeron; referred to as pro-, meso- or metapleural ridge as appropriate. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000432 pleural wing process A process of the pleuron located at the upper end of the pleural suture which serves as a fulcrum for the wing.

In pterygote insects, where the bases of the sternal apophyses are approximated on the median longitudinal axis to form the furca, the sternacosta is lost and, hence, the separation of the basisternum and furcasternum is usually obscure. In the pro- and metathorax of the mosquito, however, the apterygote condition is retained and a distinct sternacostal suture (absent in the prothorax of some taxa) separates the basisternum and furcasternum. In the mesothorax, the furcasternum is arbitrarily defined as the area of the sternum bearing the furca. Fortunately, the basisternum and furcasternum of the mesothorax are often separated by a secondary line of inflection anterior and lateral to the apophyseal pit. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000456 furca A forked endoskeletal structure of the thoracic sterna of pterygote insects formed of the sternal apophyses supported on a median inflection; somewhat poorly developed in the pro- and metathoracic segments of mosquitoes; referred to as pro-, meso- or metafurca as appropriate. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000458 midpalatal brush hair In culicid larvae, any hair in the midpalatal brush. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000459 acrostichal area The median longitudinal area of the scutum from the anterior promontory to the prescutellar space; bearing the acrostichal setae. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000461 acrostichal seta One of the setae occurring in a median longitudinal row on the acrostichal area of the scutum; absent in some genera and/or species. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000463 anterior scutellar ridge The external ridge extending from the anterolateral angle of the scutellum to the base of the posterior notal wing process. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000464 anterior wing-root The proximal area of the wing including the basal parts of the costa, radius and remigium. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000465 antero-median bare space The area between the acrostichal and dorsocentral setae on roughly the anterior half of the scutum. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TGMA_0000466 axillary sclerite One of the small articulatory plates located between the lateral margin of the notum and the bases of the wing veins in wing-flexing insects.
