| − | 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.

| − | Subphylum Trilobita (extinct, but often pretty)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Subphylum Chelinidea (2 tagmata [singular is tagma], cephlo-thorax and abdomen; uses chelicerae for feeding
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| − | Order Pseudoscorpiones (small but impressive, as your TA will tell you)
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Class Symphyla (small, maybe ancestor of the rest)
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| + | |
| − |
