Аннотация: Analogous structures can be considered as a result of the convergence of unrelated organisms formed by selection under the similar living conditions. The data on the analogous morphologlcal structures (distal fusion of anal veins, secondary vein-like sclerotization, some signes of wing planform, wrinkled veins, cover scales and wing eyes) on insect wings in different orders are provided. It is shown that the origin of these structures cannot be completely explained by the similarity of their functions. It seems also impossible to understand morphology only on the basis of a structure's function in art organism's life. The general approach to an organism's structure must include two independent (additive-according to Bohr) factors: selectional (the subject of the functional and ecological morphology) and morphogenetic (the subject of structuralism and constructional morphology).
