Brit.

/ˈfɒrɪd/,

/ˈfɔːrɪd/, U.S.

/ˈfɔrᵻd/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Latin Phora , -id suffix³.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Phora, genus name (P. A. Latreille Précis caractères génériques insectes (1796) 169; < ancient Greek ϕορά motion, rapid motion < an ablaut variant of the base of ϕέρειν to bear: see bear v.¹) + -id suffix³, after scientific Latin Phoridae, family name (J. Curtis Brit. Entomol. (1833) VIII. Plate 437 (caption) ).

Entomology.

A. adj.

Of, relating to, or characteristic of the family Phoridae, comprising small, swift-moving, dark-eyed flies (scuttle flies) with an arched thorax, resembling fruit flies.

ΚΠ

1901 Amer. Naturalist 35 339 The external sexual organs of the female are so clearly of the phorid type that they present no important deviation.

1952 Amer. Midland Naturalist 48 (caption) 130 Larva [of an ant] infested with two phorid maggots.

2001 Org. Gardening Apr. 14/1 USDA scientists are raising and releasing tiny phorid flies that lay their eggs inside fire ants.

B. n.

An insect of the family Phoridae; a scuttle fly.

ΚΠ

1901 Amer. Naturalist 35 1014 This discovery proved that the phorid is double-brooded like its host.

1939 Ecol. Monogr. 9 341 The phorids are probably predacious on other fly larvae.

2001 Pest Control (Nexis) 1 Mar. 12 Phorids will breed in dirty drains, but so will some of the dark-eyed species of fruit flies.
