neognathousadj.

Brit.

/nɪˈɒɡnəθəs/, U.S.

/niˈɑɡnəθəs/

Forms: also with capital initial.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin Neognathae , -ous suffix.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Neognathae, superorder name (W. P. Pycraft 1901, in Jrnl. Linn. Soc. 28 343; < neo- neo- comb. form + ancient Greek γνάθος jaw: see -gnath comb. form) + -ous suffix; so named on the assumption that such a palate is an advanced condition. Compare palaeognathous adj.

Chiefly Palaeontology.

Designating the type of palate and jaw characteristic of nearly all living and some fossil birds (forming the superorder Neognathae), in which, among other features, the vomers are usually small and completely fused. Also: of, relating to, or possessing such a palate.

1901 W. P. Pycraft in Jrnl. Linn. Soc.: Zool. 28 349 The plate in the two forms is quite different in this respect, the vomer of the Neognathous palate being supported by the palatines.

1933 A. S. Romer Vertebr. Paleontol. x. 210 (caption) The palate of a neognathous bird, based upon Phororhacos.

1973 Nature 11 May 71/2 The palate of Archaeopteryx was neognathous.

1986 Nature 11 Dec. 516/1 The ratite palatal structure..is intermediate between the palate of archosaurian reptiles and that seen in all other birds—the neognathous condition.

1997 Molecular Biol. & Evol. 14 754 Since the ostrich represents the paleognathous birds, comparison with the mtDNA of the neognathous chicken, the only avian species reported so far in databases, made it possible to identify common and, probably, general avian mtDNA characteristics.
