Statues, stained glass, rose windows, arabesques, denticulations, capitals, bas-reliefs,—she combines all these imaginings according to the arrangement which best suits her.

It has a lilac colour, with a few minute denticulations at its edge. The aperture and the four strong denticulations at its outer edge are also of a lilac colour. The sinus is deep and rounded. The outer lip is bright brown, abruptly contracted near its base, forming a strongly marked siphonal canal.
|
|
The outer lip is strongly thickened. The inner lip and the aperture are smooth or destitute of the denticulations usually found in Mangilia. Dall, William Healey, and Charles Torrey Simpson. The Mollusca of Porto Rico.

Zaireichthys camerunensis is a species of loach catfish found in Cameroon and Guinea in the Niger River basin. It reaches a length of 3.3 cm. The humeral process of the pectoral girdle is short and without denticulations. The neural and hemal spines tend to be simple and slender.

Zaireichthys flavomaculatus is a species of loach catfish endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where it is only found in the Lulua River. It reaches a length of 3.9 cm. The humeral process of the pectoral girdle is moderately long with poorly developed or fine denticulations.

Zaireichthys dorae, the Chobe sand catlet, is a species of loach catfish endemic to Angola where it is only found in the Rio Luachimo. It reaches a length of 2.7 cm. The humeral process of the pectoral girdle is moderately long with poorly developed or fine denticulations. The neural and hemal spines tend to be simple and slender.
|
|
It possesses fifteen denticulations around its vent. While in preservation, the animal is of a lilac-grey colour with a brownish tinge, being slightly paler ventrally. Lateral stripes extend from about the second or third posteriormost annulus to about the eye level on the upper jaw. Narrow and pale lines extend dorsally and are thickest near the nares.

While there is no real modern analogue, the most similar living example would be the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa). Like other therocephalians, Moschorhinus had a reduced number of molars which were housed in the maxillae. In most therocephalians, the “teeth,” or rather toothlike projection (denticulations) of the pterygoid bones, are greatly reduced or missing, and in Moschorhinus they are absent.

|
The humeral process of the pectoral girdle is moderately long with poorly developed or fine denticulations. The caudal fin shape is variable, from slightly forked through, emarginate, truncate, or even slightly rounded, but not deeply forked. The dorsal and pectoral fins have strong and stout spines. It inhabits fairly shallow water where it occur over sand, usually buried with just the eyes protruding.

Zaireichthys zonatus is a species of loach catfish endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where it is found in the rapids just below Pool Malebo. It grows to a length of 2.5 cm. Its body has vertical bands with darkened margins. The humeral process of the pectoral girdle is short and with a few fine denticulations at its tips.
|
|
Both are dark edged, with a centre of the ground colour. The second line is distinct, blackish, dentate and starts at the costa at about two-thirds. It is vertical for its first third, vertical but slightly nearer the hind margin in the middle and slightly oblique, without denticulations and strongly marked above the inner margin. There is a row of black dashes along the hind margin, separated by pale veins.
|
|
The forewings are dull fuscous. The first line is indistinct and curved and the second line is fine, black and consists of small blunt denticulations (tooth- like marks), each followed by a paler space. There is a series of very minute black dots or points before the fringes, which are concolorous with the wing. The orbicular stigma is small and indistinct and the reniform is black and conspicuous.
|
|
It possesses seventeen denticulations around its vent. While in preservation, the animal is a dark brown colour, its venter being a paler tinge of grey. Bright yellow lateral stripes (with a varying width of between ) extend from about the fourth last annulus to about the eye level on the lower jaw. It presents a wide gap at the mandible's tip, giving a darker area between its throat's stripes a "mushroom" shape.

Zaireichthys heterurus is a species of loach catfish endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where it is found in the Lualaba River. It reaches a length of 3.5 cm and has a broad, black collar just behind the head. The barbels are attenuate, with the maxillary barbels extending posteriorly to middle to end of the pectoral fin spine and the caudal peduncle is slender. The humeral process of the pectoral girdle is long and stout without denticulations.
|
|
Its eyes are equidistant from the lip and the top of the head, and are surrounded by a narrow whitish ring; its eye diameter approximates 0.6 mm, about the same as its nares', which are slightly anterior to level of the anterior margin of its mouth. Its teeth are slender and recurved, while its tongue is strongly plicate posteriorly. Its choanae are very narrow, the distance between them being five or six times their greatest width. Denticulations present around its vent are poorly defined.
|
|
The ribs are flat, often narrow, almost all marked at their base by four or five conical denticulations, and at the upper extremity of the body whorl, by four small mucronated tubercles, which appear again upon the whorls of the spire. The coloring of the ribs is of a light gray. They are circled by rose-colored or white bands in bars. At their external edge, which is slightly projecting, is drawn a brown or blackish longitudinal stroke, interrupted by small horizontal white rays.

|
In addition to this the entire surface is covered with most minute punctations, visible only under a strong magnifier. The anal sinus in the adult is very deep, with its edges raised and directed backward. The outer lip is produced forward and inward so much as to cover the entire aperture when the shell is held so that the bottom of the notch is kept in view. The outer lip is thickened, and with four to eight small denticulations rising from its surface a short distance within its margin.
|
|
The aperture shows a strong deep sinus at its posterior angle, which renders the outer lip, anterior to this, decidedly claw-like. The outer lip is strongly re-enforced within by a callus that bears about 15 denticulations on the inner surface. The columella and the parietal wall are glazed with a thin callus.P.

Zaireichthys mandevillei is a species of loach catfish found in the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo where it is found in the Congo River Basin. It grows to a length of 2.6 cm and has a broad, black collar just behind the head and a spotted colour pattern. The barbels are attenuate, with the maxillary barbels extending posteriorly to middle to end of the pectoral fin spine and the caudal peduncle is slender. The humeral process of the pectoral girdle is short and without denticulations.

Digital denticulations strong, usually as long as the diameter of the corresponding part of the toe, much more developed on the outer than on the inner edge of the fourth toe. Upper caudal scales strongly keeled; basal subcaudals smooth or obtusely keeled. Indian fringe- toed lizard or Indian fringe-fingered lizard in Rajasthan, India Greyish or buff above, with or without small blackish spots; young with whitish longitudinal lines separated by blackish interspaces with series of round whitish spots, which markings gradually become more indistinct; tail pink in the young. From snout to vent ; tail .

|
The aperture is ovate, notched at the top of the outer lip, with a ridge upon the inner lip. The depth of the cavity is brown, and marked with a whitish band. The outer lip is thin upon the edge, crowned throughout its whole length with small, short, and pointed denticulations, furnished internally with numerous transverse striae. The columella is arcuated, covered by the inner lip which extends upon the body of the body whorl in a white, rather thick callosity, loaded towards the base with some slightly apparent guttules, and terminated by small spinous points.
