Anatomy
The main airway of the pupal tracheal system, linking its metameric units from the (T1) pupal spiracle to tracheal metamere 5.
The embryonic/larval dorsal branches posterior to tracheal metamere 5 collapse and are non-functional in the pupa - although may be maintained in a non-functional state as a template for growth of the adult system (Manning and Krasnow, 1993).
