Vergleichend-anatomische Untersuchungen an der pterothorakalen Pleurotergalmuskulatur der Neuropteria und Mecopteria (Insecta, Holometabola)

Abstract

A survey of comparative morphology of the pterothoracic pleurotergal musculature is presented, which is based upon dissections of representatives of 93 families of the Megaloptera, Planipennia, Hymenoptera, Protomecoptera, Eumecoptera, Diptera, Zeugloptera, Trichoptera und Glossata. This survey furnishes additional evidence for the evaluation of phylogenetic relationships between the orders of the Mecopteria.
