Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin Onychophora , -an suffix.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Onychophora, phylum name (originally as class name, E. Grube 1853, in Müller's Archiv Anat. u. Physiol. 351; < onycho- onycho- comb. form + -phorus -phore comb. form + -a -a suffix²) + -an suffix. Compare earlier onychophorous adj.

Zoology.

A. n.

A terrestrial invertebrate of the small phylum Onychophora, characterized by a long soft segmented body and a series of stubby clawed legs (lobopods), and confined to humid parts of the tropics and southern hemisphere. Also called velvet worm.The Onychophora are often regarded as intermediate between the phyla Annelida and Arthropoda.

ΚΠ

1890 Cent. Dict. Onychophoran, a member of the Onychophora.

1927 Amer. Naturalist 61 247 More remotely related to the insects are the Diplopods, the Pauropods and the Onychophorans.

1977 Sci. Amer. Feb. 132/1 Consider the lowly wormlike onychophoran of the tropical forest floor. It dwells in the leaf litter there, able to move freely through it because it can radically change its cross section.

2000 C. Tudge Variety of Life ii. viii. 258 For now it seems safest to leave onychophorans in their own phylum—Onychophora—and to regard them as another experiment in arthopodization.

B. adj.

Of, relating to, or designating invertebrates of the phylum Onychophora.

ΚΠ

1890 Cent. Dict. at Onychophoran Of or pertaining to the Onychophora.

1975 Systematic Zool. 24 435/2 Organisms..having representatives in the Antilles and South America..include..the onychophoran genus Peripatus.

1998 L. Margulis & K. V. Schwartz Five Kingdoms (ed. 3) iii. 298/2 Onychophoran species fall into two natural groups: a northern group..and a southern group.
