Bernard tr. A. Lang Text-bk. Compar. Anat. II. viii. 547 (heading) Metamorphosis of the Dipleurula Larva. 1900 F. A. Bather et al. in Lankester Treat. Zool. iii. viii. 4 Zoologists have imagined a phylogenetic stage, the two-sided or Dipleurula stage,..more or less repeated in the Dipleurula larvae of recent Echinoderms. 1900 F. A. Bather et al. in Lankester Treat. Zool. iii. viii. 5 The simplest larval form among recent Echinoderms,..known as Auricularia,..differs from the Dipleurula in being bent upon its ventral surface. 1902 Encycl. Brit. XXVII. 620/1 We reach the conception that this supposed bilateral ancestor (or Dipleurula) may have become fixed. 1962 D. Nichols Echinoderms x. 121 It is not strange that early in life a common plan exists between those forms with larvae, or most of them.
