N1 - Funding Information:
We thank Tetsuya Kojima for critical comments on the manuscript, Dr Campbell for his generous gift of the aristaless antibody, and Akiko Nomura for technical assistance. This study was supported partly by grants from the Japan Society for Promotion of Science Research for the Future, (S.N., Y.I.) and from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (S.N., Y.I.).

N2 - We report the isolation and expression patterns of aristaless (al), a paired-type homeobox gene, of Gryllus bimaculatus (Gb), a hemimetabola model insect. Gryllus al (Gbal) is expressed in the most distal region of developing labrum, antenna, mandible, maxilla, labium, leg, cercus, and hindgut. Gbal is also expressed in the proximal region, corresponding to the presumptive coxopodite, of the developing antenna, mandible, maxilla, labium, and leg, but not in the developing labrum, cercus, and hindgut. During development of the leg, expression of Gbal changes dynamically with the progress in leg segmentation: Gbal is expressed in order in the presumptive pretarsus, coxa, femur, tibia and tarsus before appearance of morphological segmentation.
