ophiothricid

From the taxonomic name Ophiothricidae, a misspelling of Ophiotrichidae, from the generic name Ophiothrix (from Ancient Greek ὄφις (óphis, “snake”) + Ancient Greek θρῐ́ξ (thrĭ́x, “hair”)) + translingual -idae
Why Ophiothricidae is a misspelling
According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, taxonomic family names are formed from the stem of the name of the type genus (Ophiothrix), which is the genitive singular form after the ending is removed.
The consonants in Ancient Greek θρῐ́ξ (thrĭ́x, “hair”) are due to the underlying χ (aspirated) in the stem becoming ξ (unaspirated) before the nominative singular ending, ς.
The genitive singular form is τρῐχός (trĭkhós) instead of *θρῐχός (*thrĭkhós), due to Grassman's Law, which deaspirates θ to τ when there is an aspirated consonant in the next syllable (the χ). The stem of Ophiothrix is thus "Ophiotrich-"

Miller (1953) described an avian cranium from the Miocene of Colombia as an opisthocomid, Hoazinoides magdalenae.

1992, Kenneth E. Campbell, editor, Papers in Avian Paleontology: Honoring Pierce Brodkorb, page 135:

All other birds thought to be primitive [e.g. cuculiforms, opisthocomids, coraciiforms, musophagids, gruiforms (including the Cariarmidae), etc.] have definitive and often quite small feather tracts.

1995, Acta palaeornithologica: 3, Symposium SAPE: 5, Internationale Senckenberg-Konferenz, 22-26, Juni 1992, page 72:

Some of the other placements are so startling that Livezey and Zusi are unconvinced by their own results (e.g., opisthocomids [Hoatzin], steatornithids [Oilbirds] phoenicopterids [flamingos], and many of the smaller forest birds).

2007, Gary W. Kaiser, The Inner Bird: Anatomy and Evolution, page 177:

ornitholestid

E. H. Colbert (pers. commun. to Harshbarger, 1957) suggested that Segisaurus looks very much like an ornitholestid; Ornitholestes is found in the Morrison Formation (Jurassic).

1975, Dudley W. Bolyard, Deep drilling frontiers of the central Rocky Mountains, Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists, →OCLC, page 114:

In proportions, and especially in their uncompressed central metatarsal, Avisaurus retains the conservative condition seen in such basal theopods as Coelophysis and Ceratosaurus (Fig. 2), and thus retains a basal condition compared to derived theropods and Archaeopteryx, which have proximally pinched central metatarsi (eg, compsognathids, ornitholestids, allosaurids, tyrannosaurids, elmisaurids, ornithomimids, dromaeosaurs and saurornithoidids; Paul, 1984).

1985, MK Brett-Surman, “A new family of bird-like dinosaurs linking Laurasia and Gondwanaland”, in Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, volume 5, number 2, page 133:

Aublysodonts and tyrannosaurs appear to have been the culmination of the ornitholestid-allosaur-tyrannosaur group.

1966, Kenneth Stafford Norris, Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises, page 663:

She proved the independence of the evolutionary development of osmerids and plecoglossids which form an independent suborder and clearly outlined main traits of similarity and difference of the Salmonoidei and the osmerids.

1997, Journal of Ichthyology, volume 37, page 207:

Osmerids are generally small, silvery, elongate fishes that swim in the water column.

psocid

Psocids (New 1987) are free-living insects that feed on microflora and organic debris on surfaces of vegetation or on other surfaces.[…]Psocids are frequently gregarious as nymphs or adults and may even group together under a communal web.

1993, Charles Leonard Hogue, Latin American Insects and Entomology, page 186:

The houe psocid, Liposcelis bostrychophilus, is a tropical species, but it occurs primarily in households in temperate regions.

2005, William H. Robinson, Urban Insects and Arachnids: A Handbook of Urban Entomology, page 367:

Nymphs and adults of psocids are regularly found in caves. Psyllipsocidae (in Europe the most common psocid in caves is Psyllipsocus ramburii) and Prionoglarididae are perhaps particularly characteristic of caves.[…]In the case of psocids, it has been suggested that the Psyllipsocidae (an ancient group) may have survived by avoiding competition with more recent forms by inhabitibg caves or similar habitats.

2008, John L. Capinera, editor, Encyclopedia of Entomology, volume 4, page 396:

psychopsid

Some of the Australian specimens are classified with the psychopsids (family Psychopsidae), an alder fly group occurring solely in Australia, where it is known as the silky lace-wing due to the brilliantly colored wings and the long, silky hair.

1976, Bernhard Grzimek, Grzimek's Encyclopedia of Evolution, page 265:

As will be repeatedly seen in many Neuroptera families, psychopsids had a wider distribution during the Mesozoic and Tertiary.

2005, David Grimaldi, Evolution of the Insects, page 342:

While many fossil psychopsids were recorded from the Mesozoic, few representatives have been described from the Tertiary.

2011, Yuanyuan Peng, Vladimir N. Makarkin, Xiaodong Wang, Dong Ren, “A new fossil silky lacewing genus (Neuroptera, Psychopsidae) from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of China”, in Dmitry Shcherbakov, editor, Advances in the Systematics of Fossil and Modern Insects, page 218:

affix

No kinematic adaptations particular to the extraordinary wing structure of pterophorids are evident, and adjacent wing lobes appear to form a continuous surface (Norberg, 1972b).

2018, Robert Dudley, The Biomechanics of Insect Flight: Form, Function, Evolution:

Of these, only one pterophorid appeared to probe inside flowers from both species, starting on P. dilatata then moving to P. stricta; however, no pollinia removal or transfer could be seen.

2022 May 9, Genevieve E. van der Voort, Scott R. Gilmore, Jamieson C. Gorrell, Jasmine K. Janes, “Continuous video capture, and pollinia tracking, in Platanthera (Orchidaceae) reveal new insect visitors and potential pollinators”, in PeerJ:

(entomology) Any moth of the family Pterophoridae.


pterophorid

en-adj

pterophorid (comparative more pterophorid, superlative most pterophorid)

more pterophorid (comparative)
most pterophorid (superlative)

The realized sample sizes were far lower (64 and 95, respectively); most of the tagged flowers were not recovered in 2016 due to herbivory from an outbreak of Heliothis phloxiphaga, the most common herbivore (LoPresti et al., 2015), as well as consumption by brush rabbits (Sylvilagus bachmani), and a small pterophorid caterpillar (probably Amblyptilia pica).

2019 August 12, E. F. LoPresti, J. Goidell, J. M. Mola, M. L. Page, C. D. Specht, C. Stuligross, M. G. Weber, N. M. Williams, R. Karban, “A lever action hypothesis for pendulous hummingbird flowers: experimental evidence from a columbine”, in PLoS One:

Five videos showed insects moving between both P. dilatata and P. stricta: two with syrphid flies that hovered near, or landed on, flowers of both species, and three showed pterophorid moths landing on both species.

pulicid

We do not question the corollaries of Jordan's postulate, namely that vermipsyllid fleas never had ctenidia whereas comb-less pulicids and hystrichopsyllids are the descendants of comb-bearing fleas (Holland 1959).

1967, Bernice P. Bishop Museum Entomology Department, Pacific Insects, page 643:

These introduced pulicid fleas are cosmopolitan, having also been introduced by human transport to all continents except Antarctica (Lewis 1995).

2001, Diego P. Vázquez, Daniel Simberloff, “Chapter 6: Taxonomic Selectivity in Surviving Introduced Insects in the United States”, in Julie L. Lockwood, Michael L. McKinney, editors, Biotic Homogenization, page 114:

Two possible, not mutually exclusive, scenarios can be suggested. In the first, ancestors of the dipodine genus Jaculus dispersed to Africa (Black & Krishtalka, 1986) where they were presumably colonized by pulicids. In the second scenario, pulicids colonized jerboas switching from Gerbillinae which originated in Africa and dispersed to Asia no later than in the Miocene (Wessels, 1998).

1990, Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada, numbers 151-155, page 5:

When the lower lethal temperatures of the chrysomelid beetle Phyllodecta laticollis or of the pythid beetle Pytho depressus is plotted against the concentrations of solutes in their hemolymph, a steep regression line appears.

1999, L. Somme, “Cold adaptations in terrestrial invertebrates”, in Rosa Margesin, Franz Schinner, editors, Cold-Adapted Organisms: Ecology, Physiology, Enzymology and Molecular Biology, page 151:

Finally, pythids and belids are Batesian mimics, apparently lacking any chemical defenses.
