többszárnyúak

Többszárnyúak is a Hungarian term that translates to "multispectral" or "many-winged" in English. In the context of biological classification, it refers to a group of insects characterized by the presence of multiple pairs of wings, or more precisely, insects that possess wings derived from more than one pair of appendages. While most insects typically have two pairs of wings (forewings and hindwings), the term többszárnyúak might conceptually encompass insects where wing development or modification leads to a perception of additional wing-like structures or a departure from the standard two-pair configuration.

Historically or in certain descriptive contexts, the term could have been used to describe insects with elaborate wing structures, such as those with multiple venation patterns, or perhaps even those with wing modifications that appear as separate units. It is important to note that modern entomological classification does not recognize "többszárnyúak" as a formal taxonomic rank. Instead, insect diversity in wing number and structure is understood through established orders and superfamilies, where variations are well-defined. For example, insects with a single pair of wings, like flies (Diptera), are described by the reduction or modification of their hindwings into halteres, not typically as "többszárnyúak." The term is more likely to be found in older literature, specific linguistic contexts, or as a descriptive rather than a strictly scientific classification.
