They are traditionally thought to be homologous with Mandible arthropod mandibles in Crustacea and insects , although more recent studies e.g. using Hox genes suggest they are probably homologous with the crustacean second antennae. Chelicerate pedipalps are appendages of six articles the coxae, a single Trochanter arthropod leg trochanter , the femur , a short patella , the tibia , and the tarsus skeleton tarsus . In spiders the coxae frequently have extensions called maxilla arthropod mouthpart maxilla e or gnathobases, which function as mouth parts with or without some contribution from the coxae of the anterior arthropod leg legs . The limbs themselves may be simple tactile organs outwardly resembling the legs, as in spider s, or chelate weapons of great size, as in the scorpion s. Comparative studies of pedipalpal morphology may suggest that leg like pedipalps are primitive in Arachnida . At present, the only reasonable alternative to this view is to assume that xiphosurans reflect the morphology of the primitive arachnid pedipalp and to conclude that this appendage is primitively chelate. Chelate or sub chelate pedipalps are found in several arachnid groups, i.e. Ricinulei , Thelyphonida , Scorpiones and Pseudoscorpiones ... has no lateral claws.

unreferenced date May 2007 File Tormissus linsi aedeagus dorsal.jpg thumb Photomicrograph of the aedeagus of Hydrophilidae water scavenger beetle Tormissus linsi from above right 220px An aedeagus plural aedeagi is a reproductive organ of male insect s through which they secrete sperm from the testes during copulation with a female insect. Very loosely, it can be thought of as the insect equivealent of a mammal s penis , though the matter is actually quite more complex. The aedeagus is part of the male s abdomen , which is the hindmost of the three major body sections of an insect. The pair of testes of the insect are connected to the aedeagus through the genital Duct anatomy duct s. The aedeagus is part of the male insect s phallus, a complex and often species specific arrangement of more or less sclerotized flaps and hooks which also includes in some species the valva valvae clasper , which are paired organs which help the male hold on to the female during copulation. During copulation, the aedeagus connects with the ovipore of a female. The sperm of arthropod s is not passed to the female as liquid with free swimming spermatozoa , but contains capsules called spermatophore s in which the actual spermatozoa are enclosed. In addition to the spermatophores, in some species the aedeagus also discharges a spermatophylax , a ball of nutrition nutritious secretions to aid the female in producing offspring. In males of most species of Lepidoptera , the aedeagus has a sheath which is supported by an organ called the juxta , which is located between the aforementioned valvae.
