Either of a pair of small appendages at the end of the abdomen of some insects and other arthropods.
〔动〕（某些昆虫和其他节肢动物的）尾须，尾铗，尾毛
Example sentencesExamples
- In L. forcipatus females the ovipositor valves reach the tips of the cerci; in L. disjunctus they do not.
- They have no eyes, antennae, or caudal cerci but have a telson tail, which is common in crustaceans but absent in other hexapods.
- By analogy with modern arthropods this zone was inferred to lie at the anterior of a terminal ventral body segment-the telosoma and the antenniform cerci of Olenoides serratus might be interpreted as belonging to that segment.
- These species are notable for the plesiomorphic retention of venation (albeit already quite reduced) in their tegmina, segmented cerci, and pentamerous tarsi.
- The cerci (tail appendages) begin to disarticulate.

Origin

Early 19th century: from modern Latin, from Greek kerkos 'tail'.
