ylus: a small, pointed, non-articulated process.

Sub-: as a prefix, means that the main term is not entirely applicable,
but must be understood as modified in some way; e.g. sub-ovate,
may be either more or less than ovate and may be irregular in outline.

Sub-aduncate: somewhat hooked or curved.

Sub-anal plate: Orthoptera; = sub-genital lamina; q.v.

Sub-apical lobe: of male genitalia in Culicids is the inner sub-apical
lobe of the side piece.

Sub-apterous: almost wingless; with rudimentary wings only.

Sub-clavate: somewhat thickened toward tip; but not quite
club-shaped.

Sub-coriaceous: somewhat leathery.

Sub-cortical: beneath the bark; as in larval borings, etc.

Subcosta: (Comst.); that longitudinal vein extending parallel to the
costa and reaching the outer margin before the apex; not branched as
a rule of Packard, in Hymenoptera, = radius (Comst.).

Subcostal cell: in Diptera (Schiner), = marginal cell (Loew), = radial 1
(Comst.) in the plural (Comst.), all those cells anteriorly margined by
the subcosta first s.c. cell in Hymenoptera (Pack.), = radial and first
radial 1 (Comst.).

Subcostal crossveins: in Odonata, are between subcosta and media on
the basal side of the first antecubital.

Subcostal fold or furrow: lies between costa and radius.

Subcostal nervule: Lepidoptera, on secondaries:= media 1 (Comst.):
s.c. 1 = radius 1 (Comst.); s.c. 2:= radius 2 (Comst.) s.c. 3 = radius
3 (Comst) s.c. 4 = radius 4 (Comst.) s.c. 5 = radius 5 (Comst.).

Subcostal vein: in Diptera (Schiner), = 1st longitudinal vein (Meigen)
radius 1 (Comst.): in Lepidoptera, runs from base, parallel to costa, to
or beyond the middle, giving rise to branches which extend to the
outer margin and thus = radius (Comst.).

Sub-cristate: with a moderately elevated ridge or keel on pronotum, in
Orthoptera.

Subcutaneous: under the skin: applied to larvae that feed under the
skin of animals or within the substance of a leaf.

Sub-dorsal: the space between the dorsum and the stigmata.

Sub-dorsal line: in caterpillars is to the side of the dorsal and between
it and the lateral or, if there is an addorsal line, between that and the
lateral.

Sub-dorsal ridge: in slug caterpillars, extends longitudinally along the
sub-dorsal row of abdominal tubercles.

Sub-equal: similar, but not quite equal in size, form or other
characters.

Sub-eroded: wing margins when somewhat, but irregularly, indented.

Sub-falcate: when a w
