They transport the spermatophores with a copulatory organ, called the ligula, located on the tip of one of their arms. |
Conchs of the Girvan specimens match the diagnostic traits given above in terms of the ligula, aperture and ornamentation on the shell. |
This individual is a hyolithid without question because both the ligula and the dorsoventral differentiation ordinarily seen in hyoliths are clearly present. |
The narrow leaves are identified by auricula, ligula, hair, and other apparent characteristic of the plant. |
At Ligula hospital in the Tanzanian region of Mtwara, the practice of strapping a new born baby to the mum''s chest is helping keep babies alive. |
This is produced by ligula simplicissima, which escapes by an aperture formed near the vent of the infested fish. |
