1. ElytronAn elytron is a modified, hardened forewing of certain insect orders, notably beetles (Coleoptera) and a few of the true bugs; in most true bugs, the forewings are instead called hemelytra, as only the basal half is thickened while the apex is membranous. An elytron is sometimes also referred to as a shard.
