− | Note on reading: The text is the latest edition of Service’s “Medical Entomology.” The chapter listings on the schedule are from the first edition, and may differ in your schedule But I know you can work it out.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | W students: I will give you a separate schedule for the W sessions. You most realize that your credit, based on your writing, will be 25% of your grade; but that you must pass the W to get any credit in the entire course. If you are a W students and fail the W, you’ll get an F in the course. This has never happened in the past, and before I retire it had better not happen in the future.

− | ===1. SOME ARTHROPODA GROUPS===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | Phylum Arthropoda (”jointed feet”)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Subphylum Trilobita (extinct, but often pretty)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Subphylum Chelinidea (2 tagmata [singular is tagma], cephlo-thorax and abdomen; uses chelicerae for feeding
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Class Xiphosura (horseshoe crabs)
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | Class Eurypterida (extinct; dominant for 300M years)
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | Class Arachnida
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | *Order Araneae (spiders)
| + | |
− | **Order Acarina (mites, also includes ticks)
| + | |
− | *Order Scorpiones
| + | |
− | Order Phalangidae (daddy-long-legs)
| + | |
− | Order Pseudoscorpiones (small but impressive, as your TA will tell you)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Subphylum Mandibulata (2 or 3 tagmata, if 2 then head free; various bits of anatomy used for feeding, mostly by chewing or, secondarily, by sucking)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Class Crustacea (often good to eat)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Class Symphyla (small, maybe ancestor of the rest)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Class Diplopoda (second segment fused with first, so it appears to have two legs on each segment—millipedes)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Class Chilopoda (small poison jaws; centipedes)
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | Some call these three Classes collectively as the “Myriapoda”; poor
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Class Insecta (or Hexapoda) (3 tagmata [head, thorax, abdomen, all separate], 6 legs)
