Etymology: < scientific Latin Zoophaga, name of a division of gastropod molluscs (1832, after French zoophages : see below) and a division of carnivorous marsupials ( C. Gegenbaur Grundriss der vergleichenden Anatomie (1874) 411: see note) + -an suffix. In use as noun apparently originally after French zoophages, plural noun denoting a division of gastropod molluscs (Lamarck 1822; with other uses see zoophagous adj.). With use as adjective compare earlier zoophagous adj.Scientific Latin Zoophaga is a use as noun of the neuter plural of post-classical Latin zoophagus carnivorous (1655 or earlier; 1715 or earlier as noun) < zoo- zoo- comb. form + -phagus : see -phagous comb. form.

A. n.

Originally: †a member of either of two animal groups called Zoophaga, one of gastropod molluscs, the other of marsupial mammals (obsolete). In later use more generally: an animal which feeds on other animals or on animal matter; a carnivore. Now rare.The name Zoophaga was used of a division of gastropod molluscs in classifications following that of Lamarck (1817), and of a division of marsupial mammals by Haeckel and others, following a system proposed by Gegenbaur (1874).
