Hemiptera

Hemiptera – Dal greco ἡμι-, hëmi-, metŕ, e πτερόν, pterón, ala. Le ali anteriori sono diverse da Eterotteri a Omotteri, divise (emielitre) nei primi in una metŕ prossimale chitinizzata e in una distale membranosa, uniformi nei secondi; le ali posteriori sono membranose; le prime e le seconde possono essere ridotte in diverso grado o mancare del tutto. Emitteri (o Rincoti): ordine di Insetti terrestri o acquatici. Hanno forma e dimensioni molto varie. L’apparato boccale č adatto per pungere e succhiare: mandibole e mascelle allungate, come stiletti, sono accolte nel labbro inferiore, o rostro, e ne escono quando l’insetto vuole nutrirsi.

Hemiptera – From Greek ἡμι-, hëmi-, half, and πτερόν, pterón, wing, referring to the forewings of many heteropterans which are hardened near the base, but membranous at the ends. The forewings of Hemiptera are either entirely membranous, as in the Sternorrhyncha and Auchenorrhyncha, or partially hardened, as in most Heteroptera. Hemiptera is an order of insects most often known as the true bugs, comprising around 50,000–80,000 species of cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, shield bugs, and others. They range in size from 1 mm (0.04 in) to around 15 cm (6 in), and share a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts. Sometimes, the name true bugs is applied more narrowly still to insects of the suborder Heteroptera only.

V

Vacuna – nom. mythol. – Aphidii
Vacuna = Vacuna (latino Vacuna) era un'antichissima dea sabina. Poco ci č giunto riguardo ad essa. Aveva un santuario fatiscente presso la villa di Orazio, i cui resti secondo alcuni sono stati identificati nei pressi di Licenza (RM) e secondo altri nei pressi di Vacone (RI), cittŕ che prende il suo nome proprio dalla dea sabina, fin dalla fondazione. Vacuna era venerata, prima dai Sabini poi dai Romani, come patrona del riposo dopo i lavori della campagna. Divinitŕ di ampio utilizzo, ma soprattutto riconosciuta e invocata per la fertilitŕ, legata alle fonti, alla caccia, e al riposo, la radice del suo nome č ancor oggi largamente utilizzato, facile č riconoscerla in tutto ciň che induce al riposo e alla contemplazione: vacare; vacante; vacanze; vacuare; vacuo; vagabondare. – Vacuna was an ancient Sabine goddess, identified by ancient Roman sources and later scholars with numerous other goddesses, including Ceres, Diana, Nike, Minerva, Bellona, Venus and Victoria. She was mainly worshipped at a sanctuary in near Horace's villa (now in the commune of Licenza), in sacred woods at Reate, and at Rome. Renaissance authors and Leonhard Schmitz state that she was a divinity to whom the country people offered sacrifices when the labours of the field were over, that is, when they were at leisure, vacui. The etymology of her name is linked to lack and privation, and Horace appears to call upon her in favour of a friend to whom one of his epistles is addressed. From this, it has been conjectured that she was prayed to in favour of absent people, family members or friends.

The Velia – or Velian Hill or Velian Ridge – is a saddle or spur stretching out from the middle of the north side of the Palatine Hill towards the Oppian Hill (itself a spur of the Esquiline Hill) in Rome.
