1861 J. R. Greene Man. Animal Kingdom II. 100 The same naturalist [Huxley] has proposed the distinctive term of ‘Diphyozoöids’ for those singular detached reproductive portions of adult Calycophoridæ which received the name of ‘monogastric Diphydæ’.
1877 T. H. Huxley Man. Anat. Invertebrated Animals iii. §3. 145 As they attain their full development, each set becomes detached, as a free-swimming complex Diphyzooid. In this condition they grow and alter their form and size so much that they were formerly regarded as distinct genera.
