Question

Hind wings of mosquitoes are termed as

• A. Coxa
• B. Elytra
• C. Halteres
• D. Tentorium

Answer 1

The correct option is C Halteres

• Coxa is the first segment in the leg of an insect (counted from its body) that attaches the leg to the thorax.
  
• Elytra are the tough forewings of beetles and earwigs that do not have any role in flight but work as protective coverings of the hindwings.
  
• Halters are modified wings on the thorax of many insects that mainly help them in maintaining their balance while flying.
  
• In insects, tentorium is the internal skeleton of their head.

So, the correct answer is 'Halteres'.
