The term insect dorsal ectoderm derivative should not be classified as a multicellular anatomical structure, as there can be (and indeed, there are) derivates of the dorsal ectoderm that are single cells (such as histoblasts) or even acellular structures (such as apodemes).

We classify it as an ectoderm-derived structure instead, for consistency with the similar terms insect anterior ectoderm derivative and insect ventral ectoderm derivative.

The term will need to be unmapped from its FBbt counterpart, because in FBbt a derivative can be any kind of anatomical entity, not only a (connected) anatomical structure.

We classify it as am 'ectoderm-derived structure' instead.

We also add a definition that was missing for that term.
