"Tegmina" Meaning
The word "tegmen" (not "tegmina") refers to a thin, membranous, usually soft structure in the abdomen of certain insects, typically covering the second abdominal segment in insects like beetles, katydids, and grasshoppers. It serves as a protective cover for the abdomen.
For completeness, "tegmina" seems to be an incorrect plural form of "tegmen" or possibly an alternative spelling, so the information is essentially the same.
