Evolution of the Insects
(Carpenter - 1953) Four stages in insect evolution
4. Development of metamorphosis
3. Development of wing flexion mechanisms
2. Development of wings
1. Appearance of primitive wingless insects
5
Stages of Insect Evolution (Carpenter, 1953)
1. Apterygotes
First insect fossils
First terrestrial arthropod fossils
First terrestrial arthropod trace fossils
6
Stages of Insect Evolution (Carpenter, 1953)
1. Apterygotes on Land
Devonohexapodus - marine hexapod from the
Devonian
7
Stages of Insect Evolution (Carpenter, 1953)
2. Development of wings
a. From what structural elements are wings
composed?
b. For what purpose were wing-like structures
first used?
2. Development of wings

Stages of Insect Evolution (Carpenter, 1953)
2. Development of wings
1. Paranotal Theory
paranotal lobes
Paleodictyoptera

16
Stages of Insect Evolution (Carpenter, 1953)
3. Wing Flexion
Development of wing flexion mechanism 1.
Neopterous condition 2. Allowed for better
running locomotion, etc. 3. Became dominant
and today represents 90 of orders and 97 of
species 4. Includes all other modern insects
