Lateral carinae: in Orthoptera; on the head, extend downward from the front margin of the eyes: on prothorax extend along each lateral margin of the dorsum.
Lateral foveolae: in Orthoptera: foveate depressions on the margins of the vertex near the front border of the eye.
Lateral line: in caterpillars is at the margin of the dorsum between sub-dorsal and supra-stigmatal line.
Lateral lobe: of the labium in Odonata, corresponds to the paraglossa with palpiger and palpus (Gerstaecker) or, more probably, to the palpus alone (Butler).
Lateral lobes: the deflexed portions of pronotum that cover the sides of pro-thorax in many Orthoptera: in certain Hymenoptera, lie on each side of the parapsidal furrows of mesoscutum and = scapulae.
Lateral longitudinal area: of Hymenoptera, extends between the median and pleural carinae of metanotum.
Lateral ridge: in slug caterpillars, extends longitudinally along the lateral series of abdominal tubercles.
Lateral scale: one of the lateral processes of the ovipositor in Cynipidae, lying within and below the anal scale.
Lateral space: in slug caterpillars is the area on each side of the body between the subdorsal and lateral ridges.
Lateral sutures: of the thorax in Odonata, are situated on the sides of thorax, the first separating the metepisternum from the mesepimeron; the second separating the metepisternum from the metepimeron; the first more or less obsolete in the Anisoptera.
