1893 A. Newton et al. Dict. Birds: Pt. 1 243 Soft feathers..possessing several characters which make it advisable to distinguish them by the name of ‘Neossoptiles’.

1908 Amer. Naturalist 42 694 The nestling down or neossoptile is not a distinct and complete feather growth, but merely an apical segment of the first definitive feather.

1936 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) B. 226 146 Prefiloplumae, preplumulae and prepennae are typical constituents of nestling down, and will therefore be collectively spoken of as Neossoptiles.

1977 Bull. S. California Acad. Sci. 76 209 Previous workers..noted..that the neossoptiles of the House Finch are 4 to 10 mm long and whitish in color.

1999 Jrnl. f. Ornithol. 140 179 We bring together data from downy plumes (neossoptiles), nestling palate markings, begging vocalizations, agonistic behaviour, courtship postures and starch gel electrophoresis of allozymes to solve these taxonomic problems.
