Vajon Imre: A lepkék idegrendszerének kapcsolata a funkcióval és az életmóddal

- 45 VAJON IMRE A LEPKÉK IDEGRENDSZERÉNEK KAPCSOLATA A FUNKCIÓVAL ÉS AZ ÉLETMÓDDAL I. Abstract: The writer examined the relr tionship, of the cranial nervo system on the one hand, with its functions and the habits of 17 home lepidoptera on the other. He arrived at the conclusion that the habits and the functions have an effect on the eve Lution of the nerve system. It was proved that the protocerebrjm and the lobosopticus of the butterflies flying at night and twilight (Noctuidae, Saturn!itlne, Sphingidae

) are a lot smaller and more rudimentary

.than those of the ones flying diring daylight (Papilionidae

, Pieridae, Satyridae, .Nymphalidae)

. It results from this that the eyes do not play such an important role in orientation during flight, fir.Jing food, defence, escape and finding mates in the case of the former ones. On the other hand he found contrary relations between the size and the development of the deuterocerebrum. The deuterocerebrum of butterflies flying át night is larger and more developed LI inn Ihn L of those flying during daylight. This is true in case of the truncus antennalis and the nervous antennalis as well. What follows from this is that the palps and the smelling organs are a lot more important in the lives of the nocturnal than in the lives oi the diurnal moths. Beside the general statements there are basic differences between different species of different families, which derives from the different ways of living and functioning of organs. A rovarok, de általában 3 gerinctelen állatok idegrendszerének vizsgálata az anatómiai kutatások klasszikus xorában, a technikai eszközük, módszerek elégtelensége folytán nem haladt úgy előre, mint a gerinceseké. Ennek ellenére sok kutató foglalkozott már akkor is a különböző rovarok
