Annulate: ringed or marked with colored bands.

Annulet: a small or narrow ring or annulus.

Annuliform: in the form of rings or segments.

Annulus: a ring encircling a joint, segment, spot or mark; sometimes
applied to the inner ring encircling the mouth opening.

Annulus antennalis: the ring sclerite of the head into which the basal
segment of the antennae is inserted; = antennal sclerite.

Anomalous: unusual; departing widely from the usual type.

Anoplura: wingless species without metamorphosis, habits epizooetic,
thoracic segments similarly developed: a composite aggregation which
includes both the biting and sucking lice.

Ante: before; used as a prefix.

Ante-alar sinus: Odonata; a grooved area extending transversely
immediately in front of the base of each front wing.

Ante-apical: just before the apex.

Ante-clypeus: Odonata; the lower of the two divisions of the
clypeus; the inferior half of the clypeus whenever there is any
apparent line of demarcation: = clypeus-anterior; infra-clypeus;
rhinarium; second clypeus.

Ante-coxal piece: Coleoptera; that portion of the metasternum lying
in front of the posterior coxae, often passing between them and
meeting the abdomen of mandible, is the lateral sclerite of the
clypeus; - one on each side.

Ante-cubital: see ante-nodal, cross veins and spaces.

Ante-furca: an internal forked process from the prosternum, to which
muscles are attached.

Ante-humeral: relating to the space just before origin of wings.

Ante-humeral stripe: Odonata; a discolored stripe, approximately

Antenna -ae: two jointed, sensory organs, borne, one on each side of
the head, commonly termed horns or feelers.

Antenna-cleaner: a fringed excavation on the interior base of the 1st
segment of the anterior tarsi of Hymenoptera which, when covered by
the movable process from the end of the tibia, forms an opening
through which the antennae may be drawn: similar structures are on
the fore tibiae of Carabid beetles: tarsal claws are also used by
various insects to clean antennae.

Antennal appendage: in Mallophaga, a projecting process of the 1st or
3rd segment in the male.

Antennal formula: in Coccidae; made by enumerating the antennal
joints in the order of their length, beginning with the longe
