Metabolan.

Brit.

/mᵻˈtabələ/,

/mɛˈtabələ/, U.S.

/məˈtæbələ/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Metabola.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Metabola ( H. Burmeister Handbuch der Entomologie I. (1832)) < neuter plural of Hellenistic Greek μεταβόλος (see metabolon n.¹), as an altered form, with etymologically more correct ending, of the earlier scientific Latin Metabolia (W. E. Leach 1817, in Zool. Misc. III. 58).

Entomology. Now rare.

With plural agreement. A major division of insects comprising all those which undergo metamorphosis (now usually treated as the subclass Pterygota). Formerly also (more narrowly): †a division comprising insects which undergo complete metamorphosis (now usually called Holometabola) (obsolete). Cf. Ametabola n., hemimetabola n.

Such insects are, for this reason, known as Ametabola. All other insects pass through a metamorphosis and, in contradistinction to ametabolous forms, are termed Metabola.
