Osteocephalus mutabor males measure and females in snout–vent length. Sexual dimorphism is marked: females have a smooth dorsum while males have tubercles hearing spines. The dorsum is tan coloured and has numerous transverse lines or other markings; the pattern is highly variable. Juveniles are markedly different and have red eyes, a broad creamy white interorbital bar, and dorsolateral stripes.
The body is moderately stout and has prominent, segmented vertebral ridge as well as rows of distinct rib nodules, forming knob-like warts. The tail is laterally compressed and has a pointed tip; the tail length is about the same as SVL. The hands and feet are free of webbing. The dorsum is uniformly black; the venter is slightly lighter than the dorsum.
Felimare fontandraui typically has a blue to purple body with yellow lines running down its sides and a single yellow-cream line on its upper dorsum. The upper dorsum is also often marked with light blue streaks near the mantle edge. Its mantle is edged in orange and it has black-purple gills and rhinophores. There is considerable colour variation within this species.
Males measure and females in snout–vent length; Loader and colleagues report larger male sizes (19–23 mm) from the Udzungwa Mountains, but no data on females. The dorsum is brown and has light canthal and dorsolateral lines. Some females, however, have broad light canthal and irregular dorsolateral stripes, as well as spots on the dorsum. The pupil is horizontal.
Also the toes lack webbing and lateral fringes; they have narrowly rounded tips. Skin on dorsum of head, body, and limbs is shagreen; there are few scattered tubercles, particularly posteriorly. The dorsum is mottled dark yellow and reddish brown. There are indistinct yellow bars on the limbs, head, and upper lips, as well as dark brown transversal bars on the limbs.
There are white spots scattered on the costal half and a narrow silver band with metallic reflection extending from the costa to the dorsum at 5/6 length. The distal 1/6 is orange-brown with a black dot centrally, flanked by a short white band near the dorsum. The distal end fringed has a narrow white band. The hindwings are brown.
All fingers and toes expect the first ones bear discs. The dorsum is reddish, greyish, or brownish, while the ventrum is grey-brown, blackish, or brownish. Most specimens have an hour- glass marking on the dorsum, and many have a broad, light-coloured dorso- lateral stripe. The male advertisement call is a series of 1–5 (typically four) distinctly pulsed notes.
The iris is black with small, intense red spots. The dorsum, flanks, and upper surfaces of the limbs are covered with many small, low, rounded warts that give the skin a velvet-like appearance. The warts on the dorsum, head, and limbs terminate in a single fine, keratinous spine. The tympanum is distinct and slightly greater than half eye in diameter.
There is a fuscous blotch, suffused with dark fuscous on the fold and towards the dorsum, extending along the dorsum from the base to near the tornus, broadest in the middle and reaching half across the wing, irregularly narrowed to a point posteriorly. There is some irregular dark fuscous suffusion above the tornus. The hindwings are pale grey, darker posteriorly.
The wingspan is 45–56 mm. The forewings are fuscous irrorated grey whitish and with the costal edge bright orange to near the apex. There are three very indistinct brownish oblique lines from just beneath the costa, but not reaching the dorsum, the third directed towards the termen below the middle. The hindwings are ochreous yellowish, towards the base and dorsum deeper yellow.
The second line is also white, but sharply defined, running from the middle of the costa to three-fourths of the disc, and then acutely angulated to beyond the middle of the dorsum, somewhat sinuate inwards towards the costa and dorsum. The hindwings are grey, but darker posteriorly. There are indications of a cloudy whitish dot towards the termen below the middle.

The head is uniformly coloured but is broken around the eyes, where the colour appear in rings of darkly pigmented skin surrounded by short, pale-brown hairs. The underfur on the back (dorsum) is gray and course. Short black hairs start from the middle of the dorsum and gradually disappear on all sides. The ears are round and heavily pigmented.
The subbasal fascia is dark brown, near the dorsum almost extending one-fourth across the wing. The discal cell has three small dark brown spots and the apical area has a small dark brown spot beyond the discal cell. There are dark brown spots on the dorsum at one-third and two-thirds. The hindwings are light grey to brown.

They are sometimes called veins due to their resemblance to the veins that protrude from beneath the skin. Wrinkle ridges are named with the Latin designation dorsum (plural dorsa). The standard IAU nomenclature uses the names of people to identify wrinkle ridges on the Moon. Thus the Dorsa Burnet are named for Thomas Burnet, and the Dorsum Owen is named after George Owen of Henllys.

This condition which some people think is a self-inflicted (factitious) condition usually starts with a small accidental injury of the dorsum of the hand. This is usually followed by swelling edema and cyanosis of the dorsum of the usually right hand. The edema is thought to be secondary to excessive inflammation the condition slowly burns out with the edema being replaced by fibrosis surrounding the extensor tendons of the hand.

As exceptions Arkoceras and Wichitoceras have their whorls touching but without a dorsal impression. Discoceras and Curtoceras have somewhat subquadrate whorl sections and are moderately impressed. In Graftonoceras and Jasperoceras the venter is rounded and continues smoothly through the flanks to a broad dorsum which in each is moderately impressed. The siphuncle in Graftonoceras is on the dorsal margin, in Jasperoceras it is between the center and dorsum.
Whorls in Trocholites have a wide cross section and low profile, in Wichitoceras they are laterally compressed resulting in a high profile. Litoceras has a broad cross section and a deeply impressed dorsum. As with Discoceras and Curtoceras the siphuncle is between the center and dorsum. Arkoceras, Trocholitoceras, and Wichitoceras are limited to the upper Lower Ordovician, along with the enigmatic Beekmanoceras which may or may not belong.

Telphusa smaragdopis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Costa Rica.Telphusa at funet The wingspan is 15–17 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-fuscous with a metallic-green spot resting on the base of the dorsum and an oblique white fascia from the costa at one-fourth to the dorsum, its lower two-thirds occupied, except on the anterior edge, by a metallic-green blotch, and preceded by a triangular blackish dorsal blotch of rough scales.
Telphusa melanoleuca is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Mexico (Guerrero).Telphusa at funet The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are brown-black, with an oblique white band leaving the costa at one-fifth, descending obliquely outward to the dorsum at one-fourth, and extending along it to the tornus, before and about which it throws up two angular encroachments upon the dark ground-colour, which almost divides them on the dorsum before the tornus.
It differs from its cogenerate species by its robust, bufoniform body; adult average length between ; its rough dorsum; and its dorsal coloration that shifts from a bright yellow colour on its head with increasingly brownish towards its posterior section, while its legs and arms carry yellow spots along the back; also, the skin on its dorsum shows no dermal co-ossification. Being a representative of the pernix group, its dorsum is similar to that of B. olivaceus and B. mariaeterezae, which is different to B. izecksohni or B. brunneusto, for example. The species also possesses a yellow stripe on its back, which is less orange than B. pombali's. This species also shows dark spots along the sides of its body and lacks the dermal co-ossification specific within species of the theephippium group.
The forewings are black, with a large triangular orange spot on the dorsum beyond the middle, its apex toward the costa, from which it is narrowly separated by the ground-colour, its inner side leaving the dorsum at an angle of about 45°, and its outer margin somewhat curved to the dorsum before the tornus. The hindwings are black, with a broad orange fascia on the median third of the wing, its inner edge continuous with that of the patch on the forewing, a small projection upward in the cell encroaching on the black basal area. The outer margin of the orange fascia is somewhat sinuate, the fascia being narrowed below the cell and toward the costa, where it is scarcely more than half the width of the patch on the forewing.Lep. B.O.U. Exp.
The forewings are brown with a narrow white band on the dorsum from the base to 2/3 of the entire length and with two pairs of narrow white bands beginning at the costal and dorsal margin near 1/2 to 3/4 length of the wing and extending obliquely toward the wing apex, terminating before reaching mid-width of the wing. The dorso-distal band is accompanied by another parallel band of same size on the distal position and there is a narrow silver band with metallic reflection extending from the costa to the dorsum at 5/6 length. The distal 1/6 is orange-brown with a black dot centrally, franked by short white band near the dorsum. The distal end is fringed with a narrow white band.
The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are white with some grey mottling on the basal fifth of the costa and some indistinct suffused light grey mottling occupying the cell, and faint grey suffusion towards the dorsum beneath this. A spot of dark fuscous irroration is found on the dorsum towards the base edged beneath with ferruginous projecting scales and there are small oblique grey marks on the dorsum at two-fifths and two-thirds, as well as two black dots on the end of the cell, the upper larger, an 8-shaped ring of light grey suffusion surrounding these. Two parallel slightly curved light grey transverse shades are found posteriorly, not reaching the costa and there is a marginal series of grey dots around the apex and termen.
The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are white with a triangular yellowish-fuscous blotch, irregularly suffused glistening grey- whitish centrally, extending on the dorsum from the base to two-fifths and reaching more than half across the wing, the posterior edge direct, towards the angles above margined with orange-yellow suffusion. There is a small light grey spot on or above the dorsum somewhat beyond the middle and the second discal stigma is indistinct and dark grey, preceded and followed by confluent pale grey spots, some pale yellow suffusion above the first, beneath the second a pale greyish transverse spot extending to the dorsum. There is also a slightly curved pale grey narrow fascia from the tornus reaching three-fourths across the wing, terminated above with pale yellowish.
The wingspan is 23–25 mm. The forewings are white with a grey mottled blotch along the basal fourth of the costa, from the extremity of this an indistinct oblique grey shade runs to the posterior edge of a similar blotch partially mottled with blackish irroration extending along the dorsum from near the base to near the middle. There are two small somewhat obliquely placed dark grey subconfluent spots on the end of the cell, surrounded by a large irregular grey blotch, beneath this a cloudy dark grey spot on the dorsum at two-thirds. A somewhat curved erect grey shade is found from the dorsum before the tornus reaching two-thirds across the wing, and a lighter irregular or almost macular shade from the tornus more nearly reaching the costa.
The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, slightly tinged with brown between the veins, more noticeably between veins 9 and 10, and 10 and 11. A distinct ochreous tinge runs along the costa and around the termen, as also along the margins of an elongate chocolate-brown patch, extending to nearly three-fourths the wing-length and occupying the space between the upper edge of the cell and the dorsum. The outer extremity of this patch is rounded above and below, and the ochreous tinge which forms its margin separates it from the dorsum as far as the lower extremity of a slightly outward-curved streak, which divides it into two almost equal parts, extending obliquely from the middle of its upper edge to the dorsum at half the wing-length.
The wingspan is 18–20 mm for males and 22–23 mm for females. The forewings are light yellow-ochreous, in males sometimes with slight brownish shading along the posterior half of the costa, or a faint oblique fuscous shade from the costa beyond the middle. In females, the posterior half of the costa is sometimes infuscated, with an oval grey spot representing the plical stigma, some grey suffusion along the anterior half of the dorsum, the second discal stigma dark grey, a cloudy grey curved shade from the middle of the costa passing beyond this to a spot on the dorsum beyond the middle, and a curved grey dotted line from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous.
The forewings are deep brownish crimson with dark grey elongate basal spots above the middle and near the dorsum, as well as a streak along the basal half of the dorsum, and a band of several irregular partially connected longitudinal streaks before the middle. There is a curved transverse series of several small partially connected ochreous-whitish spots at one-fourth and a deep reddish-orange transverse fascia at about three-fourths, broad costally and narrowed to a point on the dorsum, edged with fine irregular ochreous- whitish lines, the costal edge infuscated between these, and with a small round dark fuscous discal spot edged with ochreous whitish within the anterior edge of this. There are several ochreous-whitish marginal dots around the apex. The hindwings are dark grey.
There is an irregular interrupted gradually expanded fuscous shade from one-fifth of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, marked with the suffused darker first discal stigma, and the blackish elongate plical. There is a fuscous dash towards the costa before the middle and some fuscous sprinkling on the median area of the disc. The second discal stigma is moderate, subtriangular and blackish, an irregular fuscous shade from the middle of the costa passing just beyond this to the dorsum at four-fifths, broad on the lower half, and a strongly curved fuscous line from the costa at three-fifths interrupted above the middle, becoming suffused on the lower half and confluent with the preceding towards the dorsum. There are eight black marginal marks around the posterior part of the costa and termen.
The forewings are ochreous fuscous in males, more or less wholly suffused with ochreous yellow, especially on the veins and in the cell, in females darker fuscous. There is a dark fuscous streak along the basal fourth of the dorsum and a slender irregular pale yellowish fascia from before the middle of the costa to two-thirds of the dorsum, edged anteriorly with a few dark fuscous scales, in females less marked and becoming obsolete towards the dorsum. An indistinct darker discal dot is found at two-thirds and there is a small pale yellowish spot on the costa at three-fourths, where proceeds an undefined pale line or series of marks to the tornus, in females nearly obsolete. The costal edge in males is blackish between this spot and the next.

Minganoceras is a genus in the oncocerid family, Valcouroceratidae, named by Foeste, 1938, from the Middle Ordovician of Quebec, found on Mingan Island. The shell of Minganoceras is a slender depressed exogastric cyrtocone, curved so that the underside, the venter, is longitudinally convex and the opposite side, the dorsum, is longitudinally concave. The venter is more narrowly rounded in section than the dorsum, a common feature of exogastric forms, including Bassleroceras and developed to a greater extreme in Kindleoceras. The siphuncle is cyrochoanitic with simple actinosiphonate deposits.
They have one row of slightly enlarged scales on each side of the throat. Colours can vary and generally blend in with the color of the surrounding soil, but they usually have a beige, tan, or reddish dorsum with contrasting, wavy blotches of darker color. They have two dark blotches on the neck that are very prominent and are bordered posteriorly by a light white or grey color. They also have scattered pointed scales and other irregular dark blotches along the dorsum of their body.
The forewings are greyish ochreous sprinkled with whitish, with some scattered fuscous and blackish scales and with several slight blackish marks on the costa. There is a triangular blackish blotch occupying the median fourth of the costa and reaching more than halfway across the wing. There are also obscure small spots of dark fuscous suffusion in the disc towards the base, near the dorsum at one-fourth, on the dorsum at three-fourths and at the tornus. The hindwings are grey, becoming hyaline (glass like) anteriorly.
The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are shining, pale bronzy fuscous, becoming dark purplish fuscous at the apex and through the apical cilia. From the middle of the base runs a silvery white streak along the fold, nearly to the wing-middle, where it is suddenly depressed and diffused to the dorsum. This is followed by a large, transverse, silvery white patch at the end of the cell, reaching the dorsum, and nearly reaching the costa, slightly bowed inward at its middle.
The forewings are blackish with a moderate ochreous-yellow streak from the base below the middle of the disc to two-fifths and a slightly curved ochreous- yellow fascia from the middle of the costa, broadest on the costa and at three-fourths, constricted above the middle, not quite reaching the dorsum at two-thirds. The hindwings are dark fuscous, with thinly scaled lighter elongate patches along the dorsum and in the anterior portion of the disc.Transactions of the Entomological Society of London. 1906 (2): 189.

There is an irregular white streak from the costa at one-third to the dorsum before the middle, preceded by stronger blackish irroration, angulated below the middle, above the middle with a blackish white-ringed dot resting on it. The second discal stigma is transverse, of blackish irroration, ringed white. There is a rather thick irregular white streak from three-fourths of the costa to four-fifths of the dorsum, indented above the middle, stronger blackish suffusion towards the costa before and beyond this.
There is often a broken white band bordering the rows of spots. The sides of the abdomen are dusky and the ventral surface is pale. There is considerable variation within the species, with east coast specimens tending to have distinct spots, while west coast specimens can have a totally black abdominal dorsum. Alaska specimens tend to be intermediate in coloration, but are variable, with overall coloration from the typical pale yellow-brown to dark brown or greenish-gray, and occasionally pinkish areas on the dorsum between the spots.
The costal edge is whitish-ochreous, edged beneath with fuscous. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal and there are two indistinct lilac-brownish lines sprinkled with dark fuscous, the first rather irregular, from the middle of the costa behind the cell to three-fourths of the dorsum, the second from a cloudy spot on the costa at four-fifths to the dorsum before the tornus, curved. There is also a marginal series of blackish dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous.

The one begins at the basal third of the costa and runs to the middle of the dorsum, the other begins on the middle of the costa and runs to the apical fourth of the dorsum.
The second commences before the middle of the costa, and after reaching the upper angle of the cell descends straight to the dorsum, somewhat dilated outward on its lower half. The third, from beyond the middle of the costa, curves outward parallel to the line of the apex and termen, reverting to the dorsum before the tornus, a similar line following the margin itself. The costa is very narrowly pale bone throughout, this line being produced through the basal half of the cilia, their outer half being pale bone-white. The hindwings are brownish grey.
The dorsum sellae is part of the sphenoid bone in the skull. Together with the basilar part of the occipital bone it forms the clivus. In the sphenoid bone, the anterior boundary of the sella turcica is completed by two small eminences, one on either side, called the middle clinoid processes, while the posterior boundary is formed by a square-shaped plate of bone, the dorsum sellae, ending at its superior angles in two tubercles, the posterior clinoid processes, the size and form of which vary considerably in different individuals.
