This is a text about tiger beetles. It is talking about previous studies, and saying that there are relatively few studies about the immature and pupal stages of this species. Then it says:
studies of the preimagial phase are certainly old....
I cannot find any trace of such a word. Can anyone tell me if this is correct, or what it should be and/or what it means?
Thanks very much

looks like a typo for \'preimaginal\'
there are 912 English pages for preimaginal on google - the majority have to do with insects
