Having or characterized by club-shaped antennae; an alternative term for clavicorn used in entomological descriptions.
From Latin 'clavis' (key/club) + 'cornu' (horn) + '-ate' (suffix indicating possession of a quality). A variant form emphasizing the characteristic feature of the antennae.
Different scientists from different countries developed slightly different terms for antenna shapes, so we ended up with multiple words for the same thing—clavicornate versus clavicorn—which is why insect field guides can look confusingly redundant to beginners.
