Changes needed in becoming an endopterygote 1. Larval musculature - not functional in adult 2. Change in gut 3. Mouthpart modifications
Are there intermediates? Aleyrodidae - whiteflies (Sternorrhyncha) - histolysis of nymphal organs - wing development is external
Are there intermediates? Aleyrodidae - whiteflies (Sternorrhyncha) - histolysis of nymphal organs - wing development is external Thrips (Thysanoptera) - histolysis of nymphal intestine, salivary glands, head and thoracic muscles; brain shifts from thorax in nymph to head in "pupa" and adult - wing development is external

Strepsiptera Strepsiptera Endopterygota Primitive groups retain larval epidermis, in advanced groups all adult cuticle is from imaginal discs Diptera Mecoptera Siphonaptera All adult cuticle is from imaginal discs Trichoptera Lepidoptera Primitive groups retain larval epidermis, in advanced groups all adult cuticle is from imaginal discs Hymenoptera

Hexapod Orders Strepsiptera Strepsi - twisted, ptera - wing Number of Species 500 Common names Twisted wing parasites, strepsipterans Typical habitats Parasites of other insects Distinguishing characteristics -reduced life stages -triungulin larva -forewings are halteres -wings with few veins -females - breed while larval Other features
Strepsiptera - features Males - ‘ raspberry eye’ Forewings = halteres
Strepsiptera - Life cycle Oral secretions soften host cuticle Host endocuticle detaches and surrounds parasite Seeks host Moults - 2nd and 3rd instar -legless grub Triungulin (1st instar larva) hatches Pupation Host cuticle Female larval cuticle Male leaves to seek mate Mating Cephalothorax Female stays in host Brood canal Genital pore
Strepsiptera - mating = oocyte sperm
Strepsiptera - Life cycle Oral secretions soften host cuticle Host endocuticle detaches and surrounds parasite Seeks host Moults - 2nd and 3rd instar -legless grub Triungulin (1st instar larva) hatches Pupation Host cuticle Female larval cuticle Male leaves to seek mate Mating Cephalothorax Female stays in host Brood canal Genital pore
Hexapod Orders Neuroptera Neuro - nerve, ptera - wing Number of Species 5000 Common names Lacewings, antlions Typical habitats Variable Distinguishing characteristics -numerous crossveins in wing -larvae with incomplete gut -most primitive endopterygote -predaceous larvae Other features
Neuroptera - who are they? Lacewings Larvae - predatory Adults - predatory or pollen feeders
Neuroptera - who are they? Mantispidae -convergent evolution with Mantodea
Neuroptera - who are they? Antlions
Neuroptera - who are they? Antlions Larvae construct pits to trap prey
Neuroptera - who are they? Antlions Modifications for anchoring
Native Representations Mimbres bowl Mimbres people were prehistoric Native Americans who lived from around C.E. 200 to 1350 in what is now southwestern New Mexico.
Neuroptera - who are they? Sisyridae - spongilla flies
Neuroptera - who are they? Sisyridae - spongilla flies 3 larval instars 2- 5 generations Crawl to bank & pupate Hatch and parasitize sponges Adults live 2 weeks Eggs laid overhanging vegetation Overwinter as 3rd instar or prepupa
Hexapod Orders Megaloptera Megalo - large, ptera - wing Number of Species 300 Common names Dobsonflies, alderflies Typical habitats Variable , larvae - aquatic Distinguishing characteristics -predatory larvae with complete gut -anal fold in wing Other features -pronotum slightly extended -mandibles in adult not used
Megaloptera - who are they? Adult Larva - “hellgrammite”
Megaloptera - who are they? Life cycle Eggs hatch & larvae drop into stream/pond Eggs laid overhanging water Adults mate Pupate in earthen cell Hellgrammite larva
Hexapod Orders Raphidioptera Raphidio - needle, ptera - wing Number of Species 225 Common names snakeflies Typical habitats Forests - found west of Rockies Distinguishing characteristics -greatly extended pronotum -adults and larvae predatory Other features
