Source-derived summary

Aparaglossata is a clade of insects comprising all modern holometabolous insects except for Hymenoptera. The clade is named for one of its most recognizable synapomorphies (shared distinguishing feature); the absence of paraglossae. The clade is also characterized by a modification of the ovipositor and a reduction in number of Malpighian tubules.

The larval groundplan of Aparaglossata was prognathous, had well-developed stemmata, and had an H-shaped tentorium.

Editorial summary

“Aparaglossata” enters the record as clade of insects (Insecta). Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Aparaglossata, clade and insects can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 66-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Aparaglossata, clade and insects.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Aparaglossata” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Aparaglossata, clade and insects provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q48970749. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
