Definition
A taxonomic group of insects (particularly flies and related insects) characterized by having a reduced or absent calypter, a membranous structure near the wing base.
Etymology
From Latin 'a-' (without) plus 'calypterae' (plural of calypter, from Greek 'kalyptra,' a covering). This entomological term was developed in the 19th century as insect classification became more sophisticated.
Kelly Says
To an entomologist, whether an insect has that tiny flap-like calypter on its wings is crucial for classification—it shows how insects' tiniest anatomical features are used to organize millions of species.
