| [NL. See
Gordian, 1.] (Zoöl.) |
A genus of long,
slender, nematoid worms, parasitic in insects until near maturity,
when they leave the insect, and live in water, in which they deposit
their eggs; -- called also hair eel, hairworm, and
hair snake, from the absurd, but common and widely diffused,
notion that they are metamorphosed horsehairs.
