athering hairs: the soft, flattened, often hooked hairs on the tongue
of bees and other Hymenoptera; = hooked hairs.

Gelatinous: of a jelly-like texture or consistency: viscid.

Geminate: arranged in pairs composed of two similar parts: doubled.

Gemmate -us: marked with metallic or bright colored spots.

Gemmiparous: applied to that form of asexual reproduction where
new individuals arise as buds from the germ body of the parent.

Gena -ae: the cheeks; includes that portion of the head on each side
below the eyes, and extends to the gular suture: in Odonata the area
between the eyes and clypeus and mouth parts: in Diptera the space
between the lower border of the eye and oral margin, merging into face
at front and limited by the occipital margin behind.

Genal bristles: Diptera; are on the cheeks near lower corner of eye.

Generalized: primitive: containing in combination characters that are
separated and specialized in other forms.

Generation: used as the equivalent of brood; q.v.

Genicular arc: Orthoptera; a curved dark marking on the posterior
knee-joint.

Geniculate: knee jointed: abruptly bent in an obtuse angle.

Geniculum: a little knee or bend.

Genital armature: all the processes concerned in copulation.

Genital hamule: a little hook or plate covering the anal cavity of the
male: the supra-anal or genital hook: in Lepidoptera, the uncut: in
Odonata, in the plural, one or two pairs of lateral processes of the
male genitalia on the ventral surface of the second abdominal
segment.

Genital hook: = genital hamule.

Genitalia: the external organs of generation with all appendages.

Genital lobes: in Odonata, a pair of-backward and downwardly
directed processes from the 2d abdominal segment, between which
the vesicle of the penis lies.

Genital papilla: in some Smynthurids, a tubercular elevation upon
which the genital aperture opens.

Genital spike: the sheath of penis which, in male Diaspinae takes the
form of a long mucronate spike.

Genital tuft: in Lepidoptera; an expansible tuft of fine hair believed to
be scent-producing.

Genital valve: Odonata; a chitinous piece on each side of the
ovipositor, derived from the sternum of abdominal segment 9:
probably = outer pair of gonapophyses.

Genoholotype: the species on which a genus is founded, whether
unique or one of a series, specifically named as generic type by the
author.

Genolectotype: the one species of a series selected as th
