halteres's Usage Examples:

In a large number of Diptera an incision in the posterior margin of the wing, near the base, marks off a small lobe, the posterior lobe or alula, while connected with this but situated on the thorax itself there is a pair of membranous scales, or squamae, which when present serve to conceal the halteres.

Fore-wings well developed; hind-wings reduced to stalked knobs (" halteres ").

Wing-covers and hind-wings are alike absent, and the latter are represented by a pair of little knobbed organs, the halteres or balancers, which have a controlling and directing function in flight.

either of the rudimentary hind wings of dipterous insects; used for maintaining equilibrium during flight
