Having a silvery or silver-colored head, particularly used in zoological or entomological descriptions.
From Greek 'argyros' (silver) + 'kephalos' (head) + Latin adjective suffix '-ous,' literally meaning 'having a silver head.'
In entomology, compound adjectives like 'argyrocephalous' let scientists describe an insect's appearance efficiently—if you know Greek, the name tells you exactly what you'll see: an insect with a metallic silver head.
