paurometabolousadj.

Brit.

/ˌpɔːrəʊmᵻˈtabələs/, U.S.

/ˈˌpɔroʊməˈtæbələs/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: Greek παῦρος , metabolous adj.¹

Etymology: < ancient Greek παῦρος little, small (see pauropod n.) + metabolous adj.¹, after ametabolous adj., hemimetabolous adj. at hemimetabola n. Derivatives, and holometabolous adj. at Holometabola n. Derivatives. Compare scientific Latin Paurometabola (1895 or earlier).

Entomology.

Of an insect: characterized by a relatively slight change of form during development, the immature form being a nymph resembling the adult though lacking wings, as in members of the orders Orthoptera and Hemiptera. Also: of, relating to, or included in a division Paurometabola which, in some classifications, comprises various insect orders characterized by development of this kind. Cf. hemimetabolous adj. at hemimetabola n. Derivatives.

1895 D. Sharp in Cambr. Nat. Hist. V. viii. 199 The changes of form [in the Orthoptera] are much less abrupt and conspicuous than they are in most other Insects. The metamorphosis is therefore called Paurometabolous.

1926 Q. Rev. Biol. 1 581/1 Small fish, Crustacea, paurometabolous insects and those whose larvae have abundance of structural features, are likely soon to usurp the centre of the genetic stage.

1944 R. Matheson Entomol. for Introd. Courses v. 121 Gradual metamorphosis (Paurometabolous Development). In this type of metamorphosis the young resemble the adults in general body form, occupy the same habitat and partake of the same food.

1995 Ann. Rev. Ecol. & Systematics 26 257 Roff suggested that..flightlessness is more likely to evolve in paurometabolous insects in which the immatures are more mobile and have feeding habits similar to those of the adults.
