Planispectrum
The genus ''Planispectrum'' combines very small and compact species from Southeast Asia. Characteristics ''Planispectrum'' is the smallest genus of the Dataminae. The males of the previously known species reach lengths of , the females are long. In addition to the small size, the flat body and the very short antennae, which are hardly longer than the femura of the forelegs, are characteristic of the genus. In all species the antennae are shorter than the legs as a whole. The first antenna segment (scapus) is always toothed. Tubercles or teeth can be seen on the top of the head. The pronotum is trapezoidally widened posteriorly. The Metanotum is square. The margins of thorax and abdomen may be serrated. The meta pleura have no spines. The abdominal segments are very short and wide. The ventrally located subgenital plate of the female is blunt and no longer than the dorsaly located operculum. The same is swollen and rounded. It shows a rounded lip at the end. The legs are very ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Planispectrum Hongkongense
''Planispectrum hongkongense'' is a Phasmatodea species native to Hong Kong, of which only females are known so far. Characteristics With length about , the females of ''Planispectrum hongkongense'' are among the larger representatives of the genus. Due to the laterally flattened abdomen, which is significantly wider than the thorax, the species is considered easy to identify. It can be distinguished from the closely related '' Planispectrum hainanense'' by the hairless legs, which have their middle and hind femurs only slightly widened fin-like lamellae on the front and rear area. The ones from ''P. hainanense'' are clearly fin-like there and with short brownish setae at the legs. The anal segment of ''P. honkongense'' is slightly emarginate, that of ''P. hainanensis'' is strongly emarginate. The long head is significantly longer than wide. The supra antennals located there are pointed and connected to the interorbitals by a raised crest. The three pre occipitals become larg ...

Datamini
Datamini is the only tribe within the subfamily of the Dataminae from the order of the Phasmatodea. The representatives of this subfamily are on average not as large as those of the other two subfamilies belonging to the family of Heteropterygidae. Description Datamini species remain relatively small for phasmids. In females, the body length varies between 2.5 and 6 cm, depending on the species. The males remain somewhat smaller with a body length of less than 2 to a maximum of 5 cm. The presence of sensory areas, which is considered to be the autapomorphic characteristic of the Heteropterygidae, is fully developed in the Dataminae. With them there is a pair of these sensory fields on the Prosternum and a third in the middle behind it on the so-called (Pro-) Furcasternit. All species are wingless in both sexes. The females lack the secondary ovipositor typically developed in the other subfamilies at the end of the abdomen. Their abdomen ends bluntly. In adult females, ...

Dorsal (anatomy)
Standard anatomical terms of location are used to unambiguously describe the anatomy of animals, including humans. The terms, typically derived from Latin or Greek roots, describe something in its standard anatomical position. This position provides a definition of what is at the front ("anterior"), behind ("posterior") and so on. As part of defining and describing terms, the body is described through the use of anatomical planes and anatomical axes. The meaning of terms that are used can change depending on whether an organism is bipedal or quadrupedal. Additionally, for some animals such as invertebrates, some terms may not have any meaning at all; for example, an animal that is radially symmetrical will have no anterior surface, but can still have a description that a part is close to the middle ("proximal") or further from the middle ("distal"). International organisations have determined vocabularies that are often used as standard vocabularies for subdisciplines of ana ...

Dares (insect)
The genus ''Dares'', which is mainly native to Borneo, combines relatively small and mostly dark-colored Phasmatodea species. Characteristics The representatives of this genus are very small with 25 to 45 mm in the male and 30 to 55 mm in the female sex. As is typical for Datamini, both sexes are wingless and the females have no ovipositor to lay their eggs. In contrast to other genera such as ''Pylaemenes'' or '' Orestes'', the mesonotum is shorter than twice of the pronotum. The markings show different shades of beige, yellow and brown and the males usually have patterns that are more or less typical of the species. Also characteristic of the respective species is the development of the rather long and pointed spines of the males, which are on the head, the thorax and more or less pronounced on the abdomen can be found. The females, which are often less contrasting, are not prickly, but covered with tubercles all over their bodies. In the habitus they appea ...

Epidares
''Epidares nolimetangere'', the touch-me-not stick insect, is an insect species from the order of the Phasmatodea and the only representative of the genus ''Epidares''. The species name ''nolimetangere'' (originally: ''noli-me-tangere'') comes from Latin and means "don't touch me". It refers to the prickly appearance of the animals. Characteristics ''Epidares nolimetangere'' is one of the smaller representatives of the Phasmatodea. The males are about 35 to 43 mm long, the females reach a length of about 45 to 48 mm and have shorter spines than the males. The insects, wingless in both sexes, have a pair of spines on the head and on the anterior margin of the mesonotum and a ring of four spines on the posterior margin of the meso- and metathorax. On the entire abdomen of the males there is only one pair of spines, which can be found on the second abdominal segment. In addition to this, the females also have a pair of spines on the third abdominal segment, which is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genetic Analysis
Genetic analysis is the overall process of studying and researching in fields of science that involve genetics and molecular biology. There are a number of applications that are developed from this research, and these are also considered parts of the process. The base system of analysis revolves around general genetics. Basic studies include identification of genes and inherited disorder A genetic disorder is a health problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome. It can be caused by a mutation in a single gene (monogenic) or multiple genes (polygenic) or by a chromosomal abnormality. Although polygenic disorders ...s. This research has been conducted for centuries on both a large-scale physical observation basis and on a more microscopic scale. Genetic analysis can be used generally to describe methods both used in and resulting from the sciences of genetics and molecular biology, or to applied research, applications resulting from this research.

Java
Java (; id, Jawa, ; jv, ꦗꦮ; su, ) is one of the Greater Sunda Islands in Indonesia. It is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the south and the Java Sea to the north.

Sumatra
Sumatra is one of the Sunda Islands of western Indonesia. It is the largest island that is fully within Indonesian territory, as well as the sixth-largest island in the world at 473,481 km2 (182,812 mi.2), not including adjacent islands such as the Simeulue, Nias, Mentawai, Enggano, Riau Islands, Bangka Belitung and Krakatoa archipelago.

The Indian Ocean borders the northwest, west, and southwest coasts of Sumatra, with the island chain of Simeulue, Nias, Mentawai, and Enggano off the western coast. In the northeast, the narrow Strait of Malacca separates the island from the Malay Peninsula, which is an extension of the Eurasian continent. In the southeast, the narrow Sunda Strait, containing the Krakatoa Archipelago, separates Sumatra from Java. The northern tip of Sumatra is near the Andaman Islands, while off the southeastern coast lie the islands of Bangka and Belitun ...
