phasmidn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈfazmɪd/, U.S.

/ˈfæzməd/

Forms: 1800s phasmide, 1800s– phasmid.

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Or (ii) a borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin phasma , -id suffix³; Greek ϕάσμα , -id suffix³.

Etymology: < classical Latin phasma or its etymon ancient Greek ϕάσμα apparition, ghost (see phasm n.) + -id suffix³. In sense 1 after either scientific Latin Phasmidae, family name (G. R. Gray Entomol. Austral. I. (1833) 25) or scientific Latin Phasmida, group name (W. E. Leach in Edinb. Encycl. IX. (1815) 119). With sense 2 compare scientific Latin Phasmida, class name, and also scientific Latin Phasmidia, proposed division name (1933).

1. Entomology. An insect of the order Phasmida, which comprises the leaf insects and stick insects, or of the family Phasmidae, comprising the stick insects alone. Also attributive or as adj.

1864 B. D. Walsh Let. 7 Nov. in C. Darwin Corr. (2001) XII. 403 I observe this method in the Phasmide genus Diapheromera.

1872 A. Domett Ranolf & Amohia xiii. 209 A span-long Phasmid then he knew, Stretching its fore-limbs like a branching twig.

1894 Amer. Naturalist 28 778 This notion reminds one of that current in New Mexico, of the fatal effects of Phasmids on cattle when eaten by them.

1962 New Scientist 29 Mar. 766 Ants and phasmids (to which class the walking stick belongs) are regarded as widely separated classes of insects.

1993 Guardian 6 Aug. ii. 16/2 The Phasmid Study Group is dedicated to the breeding, conservation & study of stick insects.

2. Zoology. Each of a pair of lateral sensory glands situated on the tail of certain nematodes. Also attributive or as adj.: designating nematodes possessing such glands (constituting the class Phasmida or Secernentea).

1923 N. A. Cobb in Jrnl. Parasitol. 9 243 Certain lateral organs on the tail are found to be homologous in a wide range of genera [of nematodes]; for these I propose the term phasmids.

1939 Amer. Midland Naturalist 21 637 Phasmids large, ventrosubmedian, located about midway between anus and tip of tail.

1961 J. L. Cloudsley-Thompson & J. Sankey Land Invertebr. ii. 29 Section through the anterior end of a Phasmid eelworm to show the position of the sub-ventral oesophageal glands.

1998 L. Margulis & K. V. Schwartz Five Kingdoms (ed. 3) iii. 242/1 Secernentea, also called Phasmida, do have phasmids. Many members of this class..live in vertebrates, insects, or plants.
