corpusculum

Suetonius, who quotes a joke of Augustus on the subject: 'Vereri autem mihi videris ne maiores libelli tui sint, quam ipse es; sed tibi statura deest, corpusculum non deest.'

The Student's Companion to Latin Authors Thomas Ross Mills

Syracusanis catacombis repertæ sunt corpusculum (Palermo, 1897); Orsi in Notizie degli Scavi.

The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 14: Simony-Tournon 1840-1916 1913

The Sitaris-larva, whose dimensions have almost doubled, now splits open along the back; and through a slit which comprises the head and the three thoracic segments a white corpusculum, the second form of this singular organism, escapes to fall on the surface of the honey, while the abandoned slough remains clinging to the raft which has hitherto safeguarded and fed the larva.

The Glow-Worm and Other Beetles Jean-Henri Fabre 1869
