ephemeran.²

/ɪˈfɛmərə/

Forms: Plural ephemeræ, ephemeras.

Etymology: < modern Latin ephēmera (? sc. musca ): see ephemera adj.In medieval Latin ephemera was neuter plural, < Greek ἐϕήμερα used in this sense by Aristotle (see ephemeron n.). The earlier English instances are possibly due to the common practice of treating plurals in -a as singular. Linnæus however used the word as feminine, making it the name of a genus (of much wider extent than the genus now so called.)

1. An insect that (in its imago or winged form) lives only for a day. In modern entomology the name of a genus of pseudo-neuropterous insects belonging to the group Ephemeridæ (Day-flies, May-flies).
