postgenitaladj.

Brit.

/ˌpəʊs(t)ˈdʒɛnᵻtl/, U.S.

/ˌpoʊs(t)ˈdʒɛnədl/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: post- prefix, genital adj.

Etymology: < post- prefix + genital adj. With sense 1 compare slightly earlier pregenital adj. 2. In sense 2 after congenital adj.

1. Zoology. Situated behind the genitals or genital pores; spec. designating the segments of an arthropod posterior to those containing the genital organs.

ΚΠ

1869 A. S. Packard Guide to Study of Insects 516 The elements of the two postgenital rings are articulated together by overlapping each other.

1890 Cent. Dict. (at cited word) Postgenital segments, segments of the abdomen following the eighth: in the perfect insect they are concealed under the other rings.

1941 Trans. Royal Entomol. Soc. 91 661 (title) British species of Diplazonini (Bassini auctt.) with a study of the genital and postgenital abdominal sclerites in the male (Hym.: Ichneum.).

1990 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) B. 328 177 It is possible that the Lepeophtheirus type genital complex also incorporates the fused first abdominal somite. The indirect evidence for this is the presence of a maximum of only three free postgenital abdominal somites..when four is the basic number for the Copepoda.

2. Botany. Designating fusion of previously distinct plant organs during ontogeny (contrasted with congenital).

ΚΠ

1905 W. C. Worsdell in New Phytologist 4 62 The two sorts of ‘fusion’ may be called respectively (1) ‘postgenital’ and (2) ‘congenital’.

1961 Bot. Gaz. 122 248/1 The suture of a carpel is not the result of just the postgenital fusion of ventral margins but of a considerable proportion of the ventral surfaces of the carpel as well.

1991 A. D. Bell Plant Form (1993) i. 74/1 One theoretical explanation is that the axillary bud has become fused (post-genital fusion) on to its subtending leaf after the independent growth of both. This is rarely observed.
