|---|---|---|---|
| An interfacial epithelial cell which forms a distal cap on a sheath cell to bind the sheath of a sensillum to the neighboring hypodermis, via adherens junctions. There is often a narrow opening through the socket from the exterior into the sheath channel, allowing ciliated dendrites to be exposed to the external environment. The socket cell functions similarly to a glial cell. | socket cell | WBbt:0005750 | |

| A third stage larva specialized for dispersal and long term survival. | dauer larva Ce | WBls:0000032 | ||
| A developmental life stage of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that occurs from egg hatching until adulthood. | larva Ce | WBls:0000023 | ||
| A special second stage larva with altered physiology and developmental potential that leads to formation of dauer larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 25.5-32.5 hours after fertilization, 11.5-18.5 hours after hatch. | L2d larva Ce | WBls:0000046 |
