Fig 3. “Default wing” used as a template for landmarking analysis of fore- and hindwings of Polythore wingform.

Fig 3

The positions of six major bands (I–VI) are marked as the cross six longitudinal veins: anterior edge or costa (C), radius anterior (RA), second branch of radius posterior (RP2), third branch of radius posterior (RP3), media posterior (MP), and posterior edge (venation terminology per Riek & Kukalová-Peck (1984)). (A) LMs 1–14 are major morphological points representing the basic venation pattern (~outline) of the wing, and LMs 15–50 represent the proximal edges of the six bands. (C–D) red arrows depict protocol for “collapsing” LMs in (C) proximodistal and (D) anteroposterior directions in wings where bands are missing or do not extend the full width of the wing (see Methods text for full description).
