单词 anapsid
释义

anapsid

/əˈnapsɪd /
noun Zoology
A reptile of a group characterized by a lack of temporal openings in the skull, including the turtles and their relatives and many early fossil forms.
  • Sometimes placed in a subclass Anapsida, though this taxon is now often not recognized.
All members of the group called the Reptilia, except for the anapsids (turtles and their ilk), and a few extinct groups, are diapsids....
  • If anything, the synapsids seem more closely related to anapsids than diapsids.
  • Today, only one group of anapsids remains (Chelonia - the turtles), which truly could be called an evolutionary success story.

Origin

1930s: from modern Latin Anapsida, from Greek an- 'without' + apsis, apsid- 'arch'.
