ABSTRACT Several slowly evolving characters are evaluated with the main objective of reinforcing the higher classification of Embioptera. An embiopteran femoral auditory organ, described here for the first time, exhibits differences in shape and position that provide diagnostic criteria for higher taxonomic groups in the order. New characters on silk ejectors, bladders, and various types of leg setae are also discussed within a taxonomic framework. The utility of these new traits and their different conditions, for identifying monophyletic groups, was tested by a preliminary phylogenetic analysis.

毛纲的鼓室听觉器官和超微结构对胚翅目高级分类的意义

摘要 对几个缓慢进化的特征进行了评估，主要目的是加强对 Embioptera 的更高分类。此处首次描述的 embiopteran 股骨听觉器官在形状和位置上表现出差异，为更高的分类群提供了诊断标准。还在分类框架内讨论了丝绸喷射器、膀胱和各种类型的腿刚毛的新特征。通过初步系统发育分析测试了这些新特征及其不同条件在识别单系群方面的效用。
