1993, J. I. Kirkland, “Polacanthid nodosaurs from the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous of the east-central Colorado Plateau”, in Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, volume 13, title, page 44A:

There were no large lateral spikes that are present in nodosaurids and polacanthids hut it did share fused half-rings of neck armour with polacanthids.

2008, Adam Yates, Guide to Wild Dinosaurs, page 121:

For example, premaxillary teeth are present in the primitive polacanthid Gargoyleosaurus, the primitive nodosaurid Silvisaurus, and the primitive ankylosaurid Cedarpelta.

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:

(entomology) Any insect of the family Psocidae.


psolid

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.

The phylogenetic relationship of C. elegans and other rhabditids reviews what is known so far about the closer relationships within the rhabditids and within genus Caenorhabditis in particular.

2014, N. G. Ravichandra, Horticultural Nematology, Springer India, page 17:

2004, Don Moll, The Ecology, Exploitation and Conservation of River Turtles, page 46:

Loss of scutes (and corresponding loss of sucli^([sic]) on the underlying shell plates) is widely regarded as a derived condition that has occurred independently in trionychids, advanced carettochelyids (Carettochelyidae), and derived sea turtles such as dermochelyids and protostegids (e.g., Meylan 1988; Hirayama and Chitoku 1996).

On the other hand, intermittent loading of an adsorbable micropollutant can result in significant short-term removal, because the accumulated biomass in the reactor can take up the micropollutant until equilibrium is reached.

1982, Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Utah Mosquito Abatement Association, Volume 34, Parts 1981-1996, page 33:

These same features are likely to be much reduced in other fleas, such as tungids and sticktights, that attach more firmly to the host and feed for long periods at a particular site.

2004, Kenneth L. Gage, “Chapter 7: Fleas, the Syphonaptera”, in William H. Marquardt, editor, Biology of Disease Vectors, page 81:

As well as fleas, which move freely in the home and pelage of the host, there are those, like the tungids (Tungidae) and alakurts (Vermipsyllidae), that burrow into its skin and become neosomic (Fig. 9.5).
