1867 A. S. Packard in Amer. Naturalist 1 80 We find that each ring when examined by itself, consists of an upper (tergite), and under (sternite), and side-pieces (pleurite, consisting of the epimerum and episternum).

1944 R. Matheson Entomol. for Introd. Courses iii. 53 The pleurites of each side of the mesothorax and metathorax are firmly united to form a continuous lateral wall.

1977 O. W. Richards & R. G. Davies Imms's Gen. Textbk. Entomol. (ed. 10) I. 43 Many insects show deviations from this simple condition because of the subdivision of the pleurites into secondary plates.

2000 Jrnl. Insect Physiol. 46 942/2 Ovaries were obtained from ice-anesthetized females through a longitudinal incision made with scissors in either the left or right abdominal pleurites.
