Abstract: | Homology of the wing base structure in the Odonata is highly controversial, and many different interpretations for this structure have been proposed to date. In extreme cases, two independent origins of the insect wings have been suggested based on comparative morphology between the odonate and other pterygote wing bases. Difficulties in establishing homology of the wing base structures between Odonata and other Pterygota are mainly due to their extreme differences in morphology and function. In the present paper, we established homology of the wing base structures between Neoptera, Ephemeroptera and Odonata using highly conservative and unambiguously identifiable characters (the basal wing hinge and subcostal veins) as principal landmarks. As a result, the odonate wing base structure was reasonably homologized with those of Ephemeroptera and Neoptera. Based on the present interpretation, the ancestral condition of the wing base structure in insects is also discussed. |
