Having toes or digits joined by a membrane that works as a wing, as a bat does.
The word comes from Latin ala, a wing, and pes, a foot, so an aliped creature is literally wing-footed. Naturalists once used it for bats, whose long finger bones carry the flight membrane. It also turns up as a noun for such an animal, and in older verse it can simply mean swift of foot.
