This type is found in some of the phytophagous lizards, as Iguana tuberculata (Figs.
This animal lives almost entirely upon bird's eggs, and its simple and reduced ileo-colic junction contrasts strongly with the highly developed and complicated caecal apparatus of the phytophagous lizards, as Iguana (Figs.
Yet these aberrant structures are possibly capable of explanation, in regard to the method of their development, by reference to the caecal apparatus of certain phytophagous saurians, as Iguana and Cyclura.
We find that a caterpillar form is assumed by phytophagous larvae amongst the Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Coleoptera.
In the phytophagous Hymenoptera the larva is provided with 9-11 pairs of legs.
The Chrysomelidae are otherphytophagous insects, dressed in the brightest colours, having short and thick-set bodies.
In like manner are the Phytophagous beetles, such as the Borkenkäfer and Holzschröter.
The Rhyncophora indicate that the Phytophagous beetles are the lowest; the Lamellicornes that the Coprophagous are the highest.
