sinupalliate

But even this new conception would not furnish the clew to the law of torsion as long as the hinge line is considered (as by Jackson) one radius of the angle of torsion; with Noetling's data a comparison of the valves of Nucula with any sinupalliate pelecypod valve shows, that though in both the axis of the hinge is parallel to the oro-anal axis, a torison^([sic]) of 90° of the valve of Nucula has taken place with reference to that of the sinupalliates.

1903, The American Geologist, volume 31, page 35:

Larger suspension feeders are also very abundant, such as the endobyssate bivalve Hoernesia with shell torsion and a thick umbo used as an anchor (McGHEE, 1978), as well as the deep-burrowing sinupalliate Pleuromya.

divaricator

The relative position of the adductor and divaricator impressions varies somewhat in different species of the genus, as we have already described; thus, in P. giganteus, P. longispinus, &c., the divaricators are situated immediately under and outside of the adductor, while in P. pustulosus, P. humerosus, &c., the adductor is located between the two divaricator impressions, as in the case of P. comoides.

1862, Thomas Davidson, William Herbert Dalton, A Monograph of the British Fossil Brachiopoda, page 277:

The interior of the ventral valve differs from the dorsal one by having its divaricator scars much narrower, and its occlusor impressions closer at the anterior extremity, and leaving only a very small space between them for the two little scars which Mr. Hancock thinks might belong to the anterior extremity of the dorsal adjustor.

1866, Palaeontographical Society - Volume 19, page 79:

Relaxation of the divaricator fibers and maximal contraction of the radial myofilaments, which put the medial basement membranes in tension, may cause medial bending in the hook supports and closing of the hook apparatus.

2012, Issues in Biological and Life Sciences Research, page 688:

The subimago (a winged, but usually sexually immature stage) in the life cycle of mayflies is unique among living insect orders. The Ephemeroptera have two winged-instars, the subimago and the adult (or imago).

1996, Richard W. Merritt, An Introduction to the Aquatic Insects of North America, page 126:

Subimagos emerge at the surface, fly to a support, molt immediately to the adult stage, live only a few hours, swarm, and mate shortly after ecdysis.

2009, James H. Thorp, Ecology and Classification of North American Freshwater Invertebrates:

Subimagines flutter away immediately and rest at protected sites near the stream for up to 2-3 days, until the molt to the very short-lived adult occurs.

hydrophore

It is, in our opinion, unfortunate that the term "hydrophore" has come into general use for this rudimentary form of hydrotheca.

1907, Sydney John Hickson, Hydroid zoophytes, page 26:

Thus if Phylactothcca is to be regarded as a valid genus, it can only be, on the basis of Billard's definition, if the hydrophores are definitely not of the typical Halecium-form.

1938, Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria, page 314:

The very short hydrophore pedicel projects from a shelf-like process near the distal end of the internode, which is not enlarged where the hydrophore appears.

1946, Charles McLean Fraser, Distribution and Relationship in American Hydroids, page 276:

Internodes approximately uniform but becoming shorter distally, segments comparatively short, hydrophore distal, usually parallel with segment, not delimited by node.

1875 April, “Miscellany: Food of the Bongos”, in Popular Science, volume 6, number 41, page 766:

In many a pylom occurs also at the aboral pole, so that the shell, perforated by a mouth at both poles of the principal axis, acquires an amphistomous character.

1889, The Annals and Magazine of Natural History - Volume 4, page 302:

Some shells of an amphistomous Rhizopod were observed from near Recess, W. Ireland, which probably pertained to this genus. The shells were chitinoid, yellow in colour, and each aperture was situated on a slight protuberance.

1901, Pamphlets on Protozoology (Kofoid Collection):

Arendt and coworkers propose that the blastopore in this species is amphistomous, giving rise to both mouth and anus.

2009, Daniel H. Shain, Annelids in Modern Biology, page 108:

Contrary to the view of Cable (1974), we do not consider larvae of this species as amphistomous.

[The bots] were hatched, into (what is called in the country) a horse-bee or nitter.

1809, Medical Repository of Original Essays and Intelligence Relative to Physic, Surgery, Chemistry, and Natural History, volume 12, page 124:

The last three species are the nitters so well known in this country; particularly the leg and throat nitters. It is the received opinion that the nits on the legs of horses, are taken into the mouth of the horse, conveyed into the intestines, and at length become the bot larva.

1826, Amos Eaton, Zoological Text-book Comprising Cuvier's Four Grand Divisions of Animals, page 226:

If the "throat nitter" (Œ veterinus) is the true bot however, […] it must be evident that the remedy proposed […] is at least doubtful […]

(zoology, archaic) A louse that deposits nits on horses.

meleagrine

Having disposed of such records as we have of the extinct ancestors of the American turkeys — the so-to-speak meleagrine records — we can now pass to what is, comparatively speaking, the modern history of these famous birds, although some of this history is already several centuries old.

1914, Edward A. McIlhenny, The Wild Turkey and Its Hunting, Doubleday, page 39:

To use the district court's meleagrine analogy, one may add an additional step to the recipe: "continuing to cook the turkey until the skin is burned to a crisp."

2003, United States Patents Quarterly, volume 65, page 1968:

The sad incident with the turkeys is hardly the first case of an improper response to wild animals that have wandered out of their natural habitat. […] Perhaps this aquiline newspaper would like to memorialize its late meleagrine friends by publishing posters or essays from Berkshire schoolchildren and scout troops.

11 October 2005, “Henpecking is not the solution”, in The Berkshire Eagle:

(zoology) Of or pertaining to the genus Meleagris, including turkeys.

1940 January, Erwin C. Stumm, “Upper Devonian Rugose Corals of the Nevada Limestone”, in Journal of Paleontology, volume 14, number 1, page 64, column 1:

Tabulae are transverse plates which may be flat, convex or concave. They usually occupy a central space or tabularium, and if there is an axial complex they join with it. […] Dissepiments, the small plates usually found towards the edge of the corallum, lie peripheral to the tabularium and like the tabulae are constructed of fibro-normal tissue.

1979, E[uan] N[eilson] K[err] Clarkson, Invertebrate Palaeontology and Evolution, London, Boston, Mass., Sydney, N.S.W.: George Allen & Unwin, published 1983, →ISBN, page 74, columns 1–2:

If further investigation shows that clinotabulae are absent from the Geyerophyllidae and biform tabularia are developed, then the Geyerophyllidae should be placed in synonymy with the Petalaxidae.

2007, Jerzy Fedorowski, E. Wayne Bamber, Calvin H. Stevens, Lower Permian Colonial Rugose Corals, Western and Northwestern Pangaea: Taxonomy and Distribution, Ottawa, Ont.: NRC Research Press, →ISBN, page 149, column 1:

[fuːˈrʊŋkʊɫ̪ʊs̠]

From fūr (“a thief”) + -unculus (diminutive nominal suffix).
The use of the ending -unculus, which more often appeared in diminutives of n-stem nouns, may be influenced by analogy with the word latrunculus (“highwayman, robber”), a diminutive with a similar meaning. Alternatively (particularly in the sense "ferret"), could be from fūrō + -culus, i.e. a diminutive formed on an n-stem base fūrō, an alternative form of fūr.

Some authors rank tupaiids in a separate order Tupaioidea (Martin, 1966), while others retain them among the Primates (Napier and Napier, 1967) or 1nsectivora (Hill, 1953b).
The uncertainty surrounding tupaiid phylogeny is a consequence of an inadequate fossil record.

1987, F. A. Jenkins, Jr., “1: Tree Shrew Locomotion and the Origins of Primate Arborealism”, in John G. Fleagle, editor, Primate Evolution and Human Origins, page 2:

Dental characters have proven to be of little use as there is no Paleocene tree shrew, which would show more primitive tupaiid dental characters. From the dentition of living tupaiids, one would easily infer that all of them have derived characters that prevent them from being ancestral to primates, among which [are] specializations in their dentitions or molar characters in tupaiines (see Butler, 1980).

2007, Marc Godinot, “Chapter 4: Primate Origins: A Reappraisal of Historical Data Favoring Tupaiid Affinities”, in Matthew J. Ravosa, Marian Dagosto, editors, Primate Origins: Adaptations and Evolution, page 120:
