In the Indo-West Pacific, sciaenids are important in the equatorial regions of South East Asia but much less so elsewhere.

More importantly, perhaps, is the observation that cercopithecids are significantly under-represented in the lowermost horizons of the Upper Laetolil Beds below Tuff 5.

In North Africa, cercopithecids assigned to the genus Prohylobates are known from two Early Miocene localities: Wadi Moghara, Egypt (Simons 1969), and Gebel Zelten, Libya (Delson 1979).

From sclero- + Ancient Greek δέρμα (dérma) + -ite.

In fact each zoonite in turn is formed of several distinct parts or sclerodermites, which also, by welding together, produce arrests of development and atrophied members.

1894, M. Berthelot, “Biographical Sketch of Henry Milne Edwards”, in Report of the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, page 721:

(zoology) The hard integument of crustaceans.

The most recent study has been made by Hayasi (78), who finds that the calcareous lamellae which form the sclerodermites are formed by secretions of the calicoblasts and that the latter are not themselves calcified.

1943, Thomas Wayland Vaughan, John West Wells, Revision of the Suborders Families, and Genera of the Scleractinia, page 32:

The same is true of the sclerodermites of Holothuroidea but it is not true of other echinoderm microfossils, such as echinoid pedicellariæ and microcrinoids.

1963, University of Glasgow. Geological Department, Papers - Volume 25 -, page 153:

Where the sclerodermites are arranged in a linear series making an almost continuous ( commonly zig-zag, Fig.38) line of centres of calcification, the resulting trabecula has a circular cross-section equal to the equatorial section of a single sclerodermite.

1972, Carbonate Sediments and Their Diagenesis, page 26:

Observations made during microprobe analysis and with SEM indicate that calcitized sclerodermite centers are concentrated in horizons parallel to growth banding.

1995, Susan J. Gaffey, Victor P. Zabielski, Charles Bronnimann, “Roles of Organics and Water in Preneomorphic and Early Neomorphic Alteration of Coralline Aragonites from San Salvador Island, Bahamas”, in H. Allen Curran, Brian White, editor, Terrestrial and shallow marine geology of the Bahamas and Bermuda, page 240:

The aspicular, aragonitic skeleton of a living sphictozoid (Neocoelia) lacks the sclerodermite microstructure in other aragonitic skeletons indicating a significant difference in the pattern of crystallization. The absence of entrapped siliceous spicules in this sponge does not appear to be the cause for the lack of sclerodermites since in Merlia sclerodermites are present but entrapped spicules are not ( Hartman and Goreau, 1970).

2012, T.L. Simpson, The Cell Biology of Sponges, page 158:

(zoology) A calcareous support structure, such as that produced by the corals in the Scleractinia order, by sclerosponges, and by some sea cucumbers.

Batrachoid

of or pertaining to the family Batrachoididae

It applies, indeed, solely in its present state to the capillaries of the saurial and batrachoid reptiles; but there is every reason to believe, that the same arrangement takes place in the mammated class of animals.

1832, Marshall Hall, Art. II: A Critical and Experimental Essay on the Circulation of Blood: The Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal, page 167:

An idea, not undeserving attention, has been announced on this subject by M. Reynaud, who, observing that a similar anatomical arrangement is found in the batrachoid amphibia, or frog family during the whole period of existence, infers, though not very confidently, that it may be applied to explain the arrangement of the vascular system now under consideration, by referring it to the earliest periods of intra-uterine life in the Mammalia.

1841, David Craigie, Art. XII: Instance of Obliteration of the Aorta beyond the Arch: The Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal, page 461:

It gave, therefore, additional evidence of the existence of air-breathing vertebrata at the period of the deposition of the coal-strata, and extended the known geographical range of the batrachoid reptiles of the carboniferous epoch.

1853, The Literary Gazette, London, page 114:

There is no doubt but that the Batrachoid fishes deserve at least the rank given them by Dr. Gill, coördinate with the Trachinoidea, the Gobiodea, or the Blennioidea (as arranged by Gill , for I do not accept Mr. Regan's inclusion of the Ophidioidea and Zoarceoidea in that group).

1923, Edwin Chapin Starks, The Osteology and Relationships of the Uranoscopoid Fishes, Stanford University Press, page 267:

(zoology) Of or pertaining to the family Batrachoididae of marine fishes, called toadfish.


batrachoid

Regardless of the type of water in which they are found, batrachoids are primarily bottom fishes.

1970, Bruce W. Halstead, Poisonous and Venomous Marine Animals of the World, Volume 3: Vertebrates, U.S. Government Printing Office, page 435:

Somatically batrachoids are in fact highly modified if basal euteleosts.

1991, Barrie G. M. Jamieson, L. K.-P. Leung, Fish Evolution and Systematics, Cambridge University Press, page 163:

The batrachoids (toadfishes) are sedentary large species on mud or sand bottoms (Gill 1907, Gudger 1910) in which the male guards the large eggs (ca. 5 mm diameter in Opsanus tau).

1981, Lawrence M. Dill, Robert L. Dunbrack, Peter F. Major, “A new stereophotographic technique for analyzing the three-dimensional structure of fish schools”, in David L. G. Noakes, Jack A.

This borrowing is first attested in writings in the 1870s, with a broader range of meanings (“family, kin, generation, sex, gender”); the current meaning of “family” stabilized at the beginning of the 20th century. In the 1870s, Juris Alunāns attempted to correct it to dzimene (which would be the regular development if the word had not been borrowed), but this form never became popular. It replaced the previous borrowing famīlija (from German Familie).

more repugnatorial (comparative)
most repugnatorial (superlative)

Certain beetles are endowed with eversible repugnatorial glands. Eleodes gigantea ... of both sexes ... when teased ... stand on their anterior and middle legs, holding the abdomen high up and spurting the contents of the glands right and left ... The liquid stains the human skin, has ... a peculiar, intensely penetrant odor, causing the eye to lachrymate.

1909, Alpheus S. Packard, A Text-Book of Entomology, Macmillan, pages 372–373:

If one of these caterpillars is irritated, it will bend back its head and shoot out a curious forked organ from the segment just behind the head. This osmeterium, as it is called, is yellow and is forced out by muscular action and by the pressure of the blood; at the same time a sickly over-powering odour of lemons is given off — the smell has also been likened to that of rotten pineapples...
Most of the cocktail ants are tree dwellers, making their nests under the bark, in hollow branches, or in carton nests attached to the branches. The carton nests are more or less spherical in shape, black, and they vary in size according to the size of the colonies. They are made of chewed vegetable fibres mixed with the secretion of the maxillary glands of the workers, which blackens the material and acts as a cement. The walls are thin and papery and the interior consists of irregular cells, like a coarse sponge. If the wall of one of these nests is broken open, the workers swarm out, with their tails in the air and their repugnatorial glands exposed..

1956, S. H. Skaife, African insect life:

(zoology) Defensive or repulsive, particularly as applied to glands of certain invertebrates, with which they produce poisonous or repugnant secretions when under threat.
