Division
?The class Insecta has two subclasses viz., Apterygota and
Pterygota.
Apterygota Pterygota
Primarily wingless evolved from wingless
ancestors.
Winged or secondarily wingless
evolved from winged ancestors
e.g. Flea, head louse, bed bug.
Metamorphosis is totally absent or slight. Present
Mandibular articulation in head is
monocondylic i.e. single
Dicondylic i.e., double.
Pleural sulcus in thorax is absent. Present.
Pregenital abdominal appendages
present.
Absent.
The subclass Apterygota has 4 orders namely
1. Thysanura - Silverfish (Thysan-fringed, Ura-tail)
2. Collembola- Springtail or snowflea (coll-glue; embol-peg)
3. Protura - Proturans or Telsontail (Pro-first, Ura-tail)
4. Diplura - Diplurans or Japygids (Di-two; Ura-tail)
?The sub class Pterygota has two divisions, namely
exopterygota and endopterygota based on the wing
development.
Character Exopterygota Endopterygota
Wing development External Internal
Metamorphosis
(Hemimetabola)
Incomplete (Holometabola) or
gradual (Paurametabola)
Complete
Pupal stage Absent Present
Immature stage Naiad or Nymph Larva
No. of orders 10 17
?The class Insecta is divided in to 31 orders (4 in Apterygota
and 27 in Pterygota).
?All the 31 orders are divided in to 2 groups according to wing
flexing mechanism:
?A) Palaeoptera
?B) Neoptera
?Polyneoptera (orthopteroid orders)
?Paraneoptera (hemipteroid orders)
?Oligoneoptera (panorpoid orders)
PTERYGOTA orders
Exopterygota division

05. Orthoptera-Grasshopper, locust, cricket, mole cricket
06. Mantophasmatodea- leaf stick insect

08. Dermaptera-Earwigs
09. Embioptera-Webspinners/Embids
10. Dictyoptera-cockroach, preying mantis
11. Isoptera - Termites
12. Zoraptera - Zorapterans { II. Orthopteroid orders(3-12) }
13. Psocoptera - Book lice
14. Mallophaga - Bird lice
15. Siphonculata - Head and body louse
16. Hemiptera ¨C Bugs
17. Thysanoptera - Thrips { III. Hemipteroid orders(13-17) }

02. Mecoptera - Scorpionflies.
03. Lepidoptera - Butterflies and moths.
04. Trichoptera - Caddisfly.
05. Diptera - True fly.
06. Siphonaptera - Fleas. { Group IV. Panorpoid complex (1-6) }
07. Hymenoptera - Bees, wasps, ants.
08. Coleoptera - Beetles and weevils.
