Comment: "Thanks! Because I wasn't sure if this is the correct translation in this context (there are so many obsolete items...) - I was looking for an answer from a biology expert. It also agrees with an explanation I have just found that says : "If users and developers agree that a term is defunct, then it is removed from its place in the ontology and made a child of the meta term "obsolete;" its definition is preserved."
Many thanks to everybody !"

Peer comment(s):

Eynati
: Even if it means vestigial, which may well be correct, this translation is literal and does not address the sense of 'obsolete' at all.

מיושן, אבד עליו קלח
כאשר ההקשר הוא ביולוגיה, המשמעות היא : לא מפותח בהשוואה לפרטים אחרים או לזנים הדומים לו
באופן כללי: אם רוצים לדבר בעברית תקנית, יש לאמר אבד עליו קלח ולא אבד עליו הקלח
