Honey dew: a sweetish excretion produced by certain insects, notably
Aphids and Coccids, and exuding from the surface of some galls.
Honey tubes: small tubes or tubercles on the abdomen of plant lice
and other insects through which a sweetish liquid or honey dew is
excreted siphonets; siphuncles; cornicles.
Hood: of the maxilla is the galena; q.v.: in Tingitidae the elevated
portion of the prothorax, often covering the head.
Hooked hairs: = gathering hairs; q.v.
Horismology: see orismology.
Horizontal: said of wings when held parallel to the horizon.

Hudsonian zone: is that part of the boreal region comprising the

eastern United States restricted to the cold summits of the highest
mountains, from northern New England to western North Carolina: in
the west it covers the higher slopes of the Rocky and Sierra-Cascade
systems.
Humeral: relating to the shoulder or humerus.
Humeral angle: in Lepidoptera, that angle of the wings at the base of
costa, near the point of attachment to the body: in Coleopteran, the
outer anterior angle of elytra: in Orthoptera, the obtusely rounded
angle formed by the deflection of the sides of the pronotum from the
dorsal.
Humeral bristles: in Diptera, are situated on the humeral callus.
Humeral callus: in Diptera, is a rounded callus forming the anterior
superior angle of the mesothorax.
Humeral carina: in Coleoptera, an elevated ridge or keel on the outer
anterior angle of elytra.
Humeral cross-vein: (Comst.); extends between the costa and
subcosta close to base.
Humeralis: Coleopteran; when the elytral has an angulated projecting
margin at base.
Humeral stripe: in Odonata, covers the humeral suture.
Humeral suture: in Odonata, runs from just in front the base of the
fore-wing to the edge of the median coxa, separating the
mesepisternum from the mesepimeron.
Humeral veins: in Lepidoptera, secondary veins on posterior wings of
Lasiocampids, developed to strengthen the humeral angle.
Humerus: the shoulder: in Coleopteran; the basal exterior angle of
elytra:
