basiflagellum

Antennae of first instar larvae comprised a smooth four-segmented basiflagellum and a seven-segmented, sensilla-rich distiflagellum. Lengthening of the basiflagellum was achieved by the addition of two annuli per moult, generated by division of the basal annulus (meriston).

Morphologically, the antennae (Figs. 2, 3) (the average length, n = 4 for both species) in L. occidentalis are shorter (12.22 mm) in comparison to L. zonatus (15.67 mm). In L. occidentalis (Fig. 3a,c,e,g), the length of the particular segments is approximately: scape (2.61 mm), pedicel (3.86 mm), basiflagellum (2.60 mm), distiflagellum (3.14 mm).

There is no doubt, however, that if endarchy is primitive in the protostelic and immediately derived types, it very rapidly gives place to mesarchy and exarchy in response to various demands, and it is not difficult to show how this may have occurred.

1908, Sir Arthur George Tansley, Lectures on the Evolution of the Filicinean Vascular System, page 16:

Exarchy, endarchy, and mesarchy are all found within comparatively small groups, and the actual course of evolution seems to affect the position of the protoxylems much more freely and rapidly than in the other great groups of vascular plants.

consortism

Our reply is : — It may possibly be a mere state of consortism — another of the many familiar instances of two diverse organisms being found in company.

1884, Worthington George Smith, Diseases of Field and Garden Crops: Chiefly Such as are Caused by Fungi:

The alga, on the contrary, derives a definite advantage from its consortism with the fungus, receiving from it inorganic substances and water, and possibly organic substances also.

1911, Francis Rolt-Wheeler, The Fact Book, page 966:

Consortism is classified into four types according to the benefit derived by the consortes: 1. If it is voluntary with mutual benefit but not asymmetrical or damaging to either consorte, it is mutualism. 2. Commensalism is a voluntary asymmetrical consortism in which one organism is benefited with no appreciable benefit or damage to the partner. 3. Parasitism is an involuntary consortism with progressive asymmetrical damage to one for the benefit of the other. 4. Predation is a nonsymbiotic consortism with damage to one for the benefit of the other.

The morphology of dermal scutation in callichthyids is quite different from that in loricariids, with two rather than three more series of overlapping plates along the body, suggesting that the types of scutation in callichthyids and loricariids are non-homologous.

1957, Contributions in Science - Issues 393-403, page 25:

There has been a great deal of stability in scutation of the carapace during chelonian evolution (Zangerl and Johnson, 1957).

ref

der

The arietiform marks become broader and more prominent.

The great mass of the strata in question clearly belongs to the "Lima-beds or Zone of Ammonites Bucklandi." This is proved by the remarkable abundance of Gryphœa arcuata of the typical form, and by the numerous and fine examples of Lima gigantea which occur—and especially by the presence of such characteristic arietiform Ammonites as A. Bucklandi, Sow., A. Conybeari, Sow., A. Kridion, Hehl, and many others.

The writer is of the opinion that this grouping is in great need of revision, in the following respects: Halilucites comprises the arietiform Hungarites of the Bosnian Muschelkalk and is either a synonym or subgenus of Eutomoceras Hyatt, for the type species of Hungarites Mojsisovies is one of the arietiform group and closely allied with Eutomoceras laubei Meek, the type of Eutomoceras.
