Etymology: < para- prefix¹ + ancient Greek πτερόν wing (see ptero- comb. form), after French paraptère (V. Audouin 1824, in Ann. des sci. nat. 1 122).

Entomology. Now rare.

Any of several small lateral sclerites of the thoracic segments of an insect, esp. those associated with the wing bases. Also: a tegula or patagium. Chiefly in plural.

1830 Zool. Jrnl. 5 162 The paraptera are two lateral pieces having a relation to the wings.

1836–9 Todd's Cycl. Anat. & Physiol. II. 912/2 Of these lateral pieces of the ventral arch, three are already known in each segment,..the parapteron, episternum, and epimeron.

1857 R. G. Mayne Expos. Lexicon Med. Sci. (1860) Parapterum. Entomol. Applied to a piece..in the lateral parts of each segment of the thorax of hexapodous insects, which has relation with the episternum and wing.

1899 Cambr. Nat. Hist. VI. 312 These appendages are frequently erroneously called patagia, but have also been called scapulae, pterygodes, paraptera, and shoulder-tufts, or shoulder-lappets.

1938 Amer. Midland Naturalist 19 680 Scutellum and mesothoracic parapteron glossy because of absence of pubescence and presence of only very few hairs.

1957 O. W. Richards & R. G. Davies Imms's Gen. Textbk. Entomol. (ed. 9) i. 39 The tegulae (paraptera of some authors) are a pair of small scale-like sclerites carried at the extreme base of the costa of each fore wing.
