scopa
/ˈskəʊpə
/noun (plural scopae /ˈskəʊpiː/) Zoology
A small brush-like tuft of hairs on some insects, especially that on which pollen collects on the leg of a bee.Both species landed directly on the column but, while one scraped its abdomen against the anthers, the other introduced its glossa into the anther, and then scraped it-with the many adhered pollen grains-against its scopae....
- Moreover, the distinctively dense scopae typical for eucerines are conspicuously absent in the fossil.
- They collected and stored pseudopollen, which extends the entire length of the disc midline, in their scopae.
Origin
Early 19th century: from Latin scopae (plural) 'twigs, broom'.
