Calypter

A calypter is either of two posterior lobes of the posterior margin of the

halteres.^[1]

The lower calypter is the proximal calypter (synonyms: squama (of some authors), tegula) and the upper calypter is the distal calypter (synonym: squamula).[2]

Species of the subsection Acalyptratae are noted for lacking calypters.^[3]
