palp

I had been restless, dreaming most disagreeably that I was drowned, and that sea anemones were feeling over my face with their soft palps. I woke with a start, and with an odd fancy that some greyish animal had just rushed out of the chamber.

Labial palps three segmented; the two distal segments are subequal and longer than first one.

While we observed males placing only one palp over the female's epigyne during courtship, our males never charged their palps with sperm prior to this and we never observed copulation in the cohabiting pairs we found in the field.

Labial palps of the butterfly Prestonia clarki (Lepidoptera: Pieridae).

The maxillipeds played a major role in attaching to the bottom and in crawling, while the antennae and mandibular palps were involved in slow swimming along the bottom.

Also, chain forms in the epithelia of the digestive tract and palps were observed; in this stage, the parasitophorous vacuoles (acidophilic) were of great size with many acidophilic granules.

Gryllacrididae have mouthparts specially adapted for silk production, which include well-developed maxillae and labial palps with specialized structures, while Stenopelmatidae have simple chewing mouthparts with well-developed, long, but unmodified labial palps.

The specimen is well preserved, showing genitalia and maxillary palps, and [20] suggested that the presence of harpagones ("claspers") is a synapomorphy of Trichoptera, citing [21, 22].

Spination: femora I p 0-0-1, II 0, III 0, IV 0 and femora of palps 0; patellae I-IV 0 and patellae of palps 0; tibiae I p 0-1-0, r 2-2-2, II v 2-1-4, p 0-1-0, III v 1-2-1 (apical), r 0-1-0, IV r 0-1-0 and tibiae of palps p 0-1-0; metatarsi I v 0-0-1 (apical), II v 0-(0-1)-3 (apical), III v 0-1-3 (apical), p 0-1-1, r 0-1-1-1, IV v 0-1-3 (apical), p 0-1-1, r 0-1-1, tarsi I-IV and tarsi of palps 0.

Bristowe (1958: 111) explains how the male transfers sperm to his palps before mating takes place:

Conversely, the capitulum possessed female traits at both sides, including a pair of porose areas and equal-sized palps (Figs.

2014); and the sensory structures present on the maxillary and labial palps of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Noctuidae), which are responsible for chemoreception (Keil 1996; Zhao et al.
