Excerpt from Laboratory Guide in Entomology: For Use as an Introduction to the Study of Entomology, and as Introductory to a Course in General Zoology
The jointed beak of the Rhynchota has little in common with the so called sucking mouth-parts of other orders, when examined from a phylogenetic standpoint, and will undoubtedly generally become recognized as forming a separate series as here proposed, and as the results of several recent investigations on the group would seem to point out. The interpretation of the so called lacinia has too long been a stumbling block to the correct understanding of the mouth-parts of insects in correlation with those of other Arthropoda; the present interpretation will obviate this.
