In larval Diptera, a small usually rod-shaped sclerite articulating with the lateralia. In mosquito larvae, bearing seta 6-Mx and often fused with the maxillary palpus, e.g., in Hodgesia, Tripteroides, and Trichoprosopon, partially attached to the margin of the lateralia, e.g., in Culiseta, Culex, Deinocerites, Opifex and most Aedes, or completely united with the lateralia, e.g., in Armigeres and Toxorhynchites. articular bar articular rod basal arm of the cardo basal piece cardobasistipes condyle of the cardo default_namespace entoparartis first ossicle first segment of maxillary palp fused cardo and basistipes hypostomal sclerite lever maxillary apodeme maxillary articular rod maxillary palpifer palpifer pigmented and sclerotized apodeme rod of the cardo sclerite at base of palpus sclerotized arm sclerotized arm of the maxilla small sclerite stipes tresidet Chitinplade triangular sclerite ventral sclerite of the maxilla
