WHAT DOES CLYPEUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Clypeus

The clypeus is one of the sclerites that make up the "face" of an arthropod. In insects, the clypeus delimits the lower margin of the face, with the labrum articulated along the ventral margin of the clypeus. The mandibles bracket the labrum, but do not touch the clypeus. The dorsal margin of the clypeus is below the antennal sockets. The clypeus is often well-defined by sulci along its lateral and dorsal margins, and is most commonly rectangular or trapezoidal in overall shape. The post-clypeus is a large nose-like structure that lies between the eyes and makes up much of the front of the head in cicadas. In spiders, the clypeus is generally defined as the area between the anterior edge of the carapace and the anterior eyes.

Definition of clypeus in the English dictionary

The definition of clypeus in the dictionary is a cuticular plate on the head of some insects between the labrum and the frons.
