Neuroptera (medicine) and Tremolite (health)


Neuroptera (medicine)


neuroptera
<zoology> An order of hexapod insects having two pairs of large, membranous, net-veined wings. The mouth organs are adapted for chewing. They feed upon Other insects, and undergo a complete metamorphosis. The ant-lion, hellgamite, and lacewing fly are examples. Formerly, the name was given to a much more extensive group, including the true Neuroptera and the Pseudoneuroptera.

Origin: Nl, fr. Gr. Nerve + a wing, fr. To fly.
