Lewis & Short

Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

bombȳlis, is, f., = βομβυλίς, the silkworm in its chrysalis state, Plin. 11, 22, 26, § 76.
Collat. form bombȳlĭus, ii, m., = βομβύλιος, Ambros. Hexaëm. 5, 23, 77.
