A row of polygonal ridges, bearing shortened spines, on the dorsal lateral surface of abdominal segments 5–7 for stridulation. See rastral spines.

A row of polygonal ridges, bearing shortened spines, on the dorsal lateral surface of abdominal segments 5–7 for stridulation. See abdominal striation.
Found principally in Toxoptera, the stridulatory apparatusstridulatory apparatus:
Sound producing organ consisting of a row of peg-like setae on the inner surfaces of the metatibiae and striations on the ventral lateral areas of abdominal segments 5 and 6.

Third main body region of the aphid, consisting of eight segments.
and pegs on the hind tibiatibia:
The fourth and longest segment of the leg basally attached to the femur and distally attached to the tarsus.

One of six ambulatory appendages of the thorax. Each leg is composed of the coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, basitarsus, distitarsus, and tarsal claw.
