Gordius In Webster's Dictionary

\Gor"di*us\, n. [NL. See {Gordian}, 1.] (Zo["o]l.) 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.
