Abstract:

Insect mouthparts comprise several shorter and longer branches, generally
termed endites and palps. The serial homology of these branches within the different
mouthparts is discussed controversially, especially in the mandibles. The telognathic
concept and the gnathobasic concept of the mandible are briefly summarized.
Recent results supporting the gnathobasic concept and the idea of a
“single-endite” mandible are reviewed. A hypothetical scenario for the
evolution of insect head appendages from a common ground-state head appendage
is presented.
