The plural form of epistoma; multiple regions of insect heads located between the antennae and mouth.
Greek plural form, using the standard '-ata' ending for Latin/Greek scientific terms, allowing entomologists to refer to this feature across multiple insects.
Many scientific words have weird plural forms borrowed directly from Greek and Latin—'epistomata' sounds fancy, but it just means 'more than one epistoma'!
