Topic: Exopterygota


  
  Exopterygota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Exopterygota, also known as Hemipterodea, are a superorder of insects of the subclass Pterygota, in which the young resemble adults but have externally-developing wings.
The Exopterygota are a highly diverse insect superorder, with at least 130,000 known species divided between eighteen orders.
Exopterygota ("external winged forms") develop wings on the outside of their bodies without going through a pupal stage.

It is almost impossible to believe that any species of insect that has for a long period developed the wings outside the body could change this mode of growth suddenly for an internal mode of development of the organs in question, for, as we have already explained, the two modes of growth are directly opposed.
The change that is required to transform Exopterygota into Endopterygota is merely that a cell of hypodeimis should proliferate inwards instead of outwards, or that a minute hypo-dermal evaginated bud should be forced to the interior of the body by the pressure of a contracted cuticle.
As regards wing-structure, the Isoptera with the two pairs closelysimilar are the most primitive of all winged insects; while in the paired mesodermal genital ducts, the elongate cerci and the conspicuous maxillulae of their larvae the Ephemeroptera retain notable ancestral characters.

From all points of view it appears, therefore, probable that Endopterygota are descended from Exopterygota, and we are brought to the question as to the way in which this has occurred.
There are, in fact, existing forms of Exopterygota that are usually wingless, and that nevertheless appear in certain seasons or localities with wings.
We conclude, therefore, that the primitive stock of the former sub-class became early differentiated from that of the latter.

Among the winged insects, two major types can be recognised The Exopterygota, with wings developing externally as wing pads in the immature, and The Endopterygota, with wings developing internally.
In the Exopterygota the rudimentary wings are recognizable as stiff, immovable pads on the thorax, and well-developed legs, antennae, and compound eyes are visible.
The paurometabolous insects may be distinguished by the striking similarity between the adult form and the immature, known as a nymph.

 Hemimetabolous   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
One classification includes insects that have immatures with external wing pads, the Exopterygota, and species that have internal wing pads as larvae, the Endopterygota.
Another classification agrees with the previous demarcations but substitutes Hemimetabola for Exopterygota and Holometabola for Endopterygota.
Another view separates the Exopterygota into Paurometabola (for those whose immatures develop terrestrially) or Hemimetabola (whose immatures inhabit water) and retains the Endopterygota as a single unit, the Holometabola.

This group is comprised by the orders of insects which are holo-metabolous, have larval (vs. nymphal) stages, and separated from the Exopterygota in that they have an internal vs. external wing development.
Examples from this group are the Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and.
Not included with this group are the Hemiptera, Homoptera, Orthoptera and Isoptera.

The order Plecoptera belongs to the infraclass Neoptera because stoneflies’ wings fold over their backs at rest.
Wings develop in external wingpads, a characteristic that places Plecoptera in the division Exopterygota.
North American stoneflies are generally divided into two groups, Euholognatha and Systellognatha, based on major differences in mouthpart morphology and, hence, feeding biology.

Full sized and functional wings occur only in adult insects with the exception of the Mayflies.
However, developing wings may have been seen as small, fleshy pads on the thorax of immature insects called nymphs in the Exopterygota and the pupae of the Endopterygota
On each wing, there are thickened lines and ridges called veins.
