Zool. [f. Gr. λιπ-, λείπειν to leave, be wanting + TYPE.] (See quot.)
1882. Proc. Zool. Soc., 21 March, 312. Mr. Sclater stated that … he had found it convenient to coin a term for the designation of a type of animal, the absence of which was characteristic of a particular district or region. This term he proposed should be ‘Lipotype.’
