fferent orders:
see nymph; caterpillar slug; maggot; grub.

Larvarium: a tube or case made by a larva as a shelter or retreat.

Larvatae: asked; applied to coarctate and obtect pupae.

Larvina: a maggot: a dipterous larva without distinct head or legs.

Larvule: applied to early stages of Ephemerid larvae when they appear
to have no developed respiratory, circulatory or nervous systems.

Lashed: eyes that have a more or less complete fringe of stiff hairs or
bristles at the orbits.

Lasureus: a very dark blue [French blue with some black].

Laterad: toward the side and away from the median line.

Lateral: relating, pertaining or attached to the side.

Lateral areas: in Hymenoptera; on the metanotum, the three spaces
between the median and lateral long carinae; the upper is the
external or first lateral basal area; the second is the external or central
lateral area; the third is the middle, internal, apical or third lateral
area.

Lateral bristles: in Diptera; situated at or near the lateral margins of
the abdominal segments.

Lateral carinae: in Orthoptera; on the head, extend downward from
the front margin of the eyes: on prothorax extend along each lateral
margin of the dorsum.

Lateral foveolae: in Orthoptera: foveate depressions on the margins of
the vertex near the front border of the eye.

Lateral line: in caterpillars is at the margin of the dorsum between
sub-dorsal and supra-stigmatal line.

Lateral lobe: of the labium in Odonata, corresponds to the paraglossa
with palpiger and palpus (Gerstaecker) or, more probably, to the
palpus alone (Butler).

Lateral lobes: the deflexed portions of pronotum that cover the sides of
pro-thorax in many Orthoptera: in certain Hymenoptera, lie on each
side of the parapsidal furrows of mesoscutum and = scapulae.

Lateral longitudinal area: of Hymenoptera, extends between the
median and pleural carinae of metanotum.

Lateral ridge: in slug caterpillars, extends longitudinally along the
lateral series of abdominal tubercles.

Lateral scale: one of the lateral processes of the ovipositor in
Cynipidae, lying within and below the anal scale.

Lateral space: in slug caterpillars is the area on each side of the body
between the subdorsal and lateral ridges.

Lateral sutures: of the thorax in Odonata, are situated on the sides of
thorax, the first separating the metepisternum from the mesepimeron;
the second separating the metepisternum from the metepimeron;
th
