Sentences with PTERYGOTA (3)
Many students of the group, following Brauer, have regarded the Apterygota as representing the original wingless progenitors of the Pterygota, and the many primitive characters shown by the former group lend support to this view.
How wings were acquired by these primitive Pterygota must remain for the present a subject for speculation.
The insects are divided into numerous orders according to the form of the mouth parts, the structure of the wings, as well as the manner of the development; with the exception of the lowest group (_Apterygota_), which is most nearly related to the ancestors of the insects, and which has no wings and undergoes no metamorphosis, all the remaining orders, which are termed _Pterygota_, have wings on the thorax, though there are, of course, a few species and families of this group which have lost their wings.
