b. Applied to the early immature form of animals of other classes, when the development to maturity involves some sort of metamorphosis.In the first quot. the word is used in a general sense = ‘mask’, ‘guise’: the technical restricted use is due to Linnæus. In the larva the perfect form, or imago, of the insect is unrecognizable.
