Maxilla \Max*il"la\, n.; pl. {Maxill[ae]}. [L., dim. of mala
   jaw, jawbone.]
   1. (Anat.)
      (a) The bone of either the upper or the under jaw.
      (b) The bone, or principal bone, of the upper jaw, the
          bone of the lower jaw being the mandible. [Now
          commonly used in this restricted sense.]

   Note: There are usually two pairs in Crustacea and one pair
         in insects. In certain insects they are not used as

         {Lepidoptera}, and {Diptera}.
