Early Triassic species of Saurichthys differ from later species most prominently in their more elongate postorbital portion of the skull (part of the skull behind the eyes) and their generally denser scale cover.
The largest eggs are more elongate, being ; the smallest are more ovoid and are . All are semi- translucent, milky-white or opalescent when fresh, although some of the larger and more elongate eggs have a semi-transparent area at the smaller end. The opalescent lustre disappears in a few days and the eggs turn yellowish and later brown or black. The young appear to hatch in six to eight weeks, at this stage the spots on the body are barely present.
E. oeme Hbn. (35 g). Variable in size, usually somewhat smaller than medusa, the wings more elongate. On the forewing there is near the apex a russet -yellow, sometimes divided spot which bears two white-centred black ocelli.
Gilmore divided the armor into five categories: simple rectangular scutes; ridged rooflike scutes; thickened rectangular scutes with asymmetrically-positioned sharp spines overhanging the borders; small pointed spines with thickened bases; and more elongate pointed spines with thickened bases.
It is pale brown to grey in color. Similar in appearance, Acropora ocellata has longer branches and more elongate radial corallites. It can be differentiated from Acropora clathrata by its tree-like structure and its strongly appressed, regularly distributed corallites.

Sphinx centrosinaria is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet in southern China. The wingspan is about 76 mm. It is very similar in colour and pattern to Sphinx crassistriga, but larger, the forewing is more elongate and apically pointed.
Macroglossum nemesis is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Sulawesi. The length of the forewings is 23–24 mm. It is similar to Macroglossum corythus corythus and Macroglossum sylvia, but the forewings are more elongate and have a more variegated and contrasting upperside pattern.
E. pharte Hbn. (36 d). Shape and size as in melampus, the forewing however narrower, being more elongate, the apex not so much rounded. The yellowish brown distal band of the forewing is interrupted by the veins, extending usually close to the hindmargin, sometimes only to the centre of the wing.
The coracoid found alongside the scapula is far more similar to Diplodocus than Camarasaurus, being round and longer than tall. However, it is also thicker than in Diplocodus. The in the coracoid is large and centered on the short axis of the bone. The ulna is more elongate than any comparable bone known from Diplocodus.
The cervical ribs are double-headed and start from the third cervical vertebra. The dorsal ribs are single-headed, significantly more elongate, and highly pachyostotic. The last dorsal rib is noticeably shorter than the preceding one, but still much longer than the following sacral ribs. It points laterally instead of trending towards the ilium.
They moult after about ten days and begin to lose their eyes, legs and antennae. The adult female appears after the next moult and the scale develops, incorporating the larval exuviae. The development of the male involves three moults. The male nymph is more elongate than the female and the adult male is orange coloured and has wings.
The polyps are golden brown, brown or blackish, the ones on the pinnules being paler in colour; they may make the axis appear dark red. The size and shape of the polyps vary across the colony, with the polyps most distant from the holdfast being more elongate than the others. Each polyp has six, non-retractile, unbranched tentacles.
Schoenus crassus is a robust species, with plants usually having stiff, upright leaves. Other notable morphological characters include its firm and thickened primary inflorescence bracts, prophylls and prophyll mucros. In addition, this species has aristate spikelets. Schoenus crassus closely resembles Schoenus compactus, but the former species has a more elongate flowering head (inflorescence) compared to that of the latter.
The tentacles are long and slender, with no epicephalic veil between them. The eyes are large and black, on short but distinct peduncles, behind and above the tentacles. The epipodial lobes contain papillose edges and two or three more elongate processes on each side, but none project from the opercular lobe. The foot is short and rather blunt behind.
This species was named by Agassiz in 1837 and is known from some incomplete remains. It has been classified as closely related to L. elvensis. It is more elongate than L. elvensis, being four times as long as tall. It also has more sharply angulated sutures between its parietals, and the parietals are also proportionally longer.
P. disjuncta Leech (59c). On the upperside similar to the preceding species [P. sulpitia Cr.],, the forewing apparently somewhat more elongate, the cell-spots of the forewing rather different, especially on the underside. The hindwing below with a white streak before the costal vein, the basal spots less prominent, the discal band more erect, i. e.
Lintneria praelongus is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Honduras and Guatemala. It is similar to Lintneria istar but more greyish white and the forewings are more elongate. The larvae probably feed on Lamiaceae (such as Salvia, Mentha, Monarda and Hyptis), Hydrophylloideae (such as Wigandia) and Verbenaceae species (such as Verbena and Lantana).
The first (i), second (2), third (3) and fourth (4) laterals are about equal in shape. The first one is subtriangular, with a slightly concave inner and convex outer margin, thickened at its upper part, the second is very similar, the third is narrower and the fourth is more subquadrangularly elongate; the fifth (5) or last lateral is club-shaped, thickened above, without cusp. Of the uncini (U) the proximal one has a short, broad cusp, with a small denticle near the base of the distal margin; the second is more elongate, also with a small denticle; the subsequent ones are much more elongate, No denticles can be detected, perhaps because the cusps lie so close together, as to cover each other in part.Schepman 1908-1913, The Prosobranchia of the Siboga Expedition; Leyden,E.
There is a short obscure dark fuscous dash on the submedian fold at one-fourth, and another beyond the middle. A small roundish ill-defined dark fuscous spot is found in the disc at five-eights, and another at three-fourths, more elongate. The hindwings are ochreous- orange, somewhat paler posteriorly. The larvae feed on Acacia species, including Acacia longifolia and Acacia linifolia.
On the hindwing there are before the distal margin 3—4 ovate ferruginous spots which bear black dots. The underside is paler, more reddish grey, the band and spots being distinct. The wings of the female are more elongate, the ground-colour and band being lighter than in the male. — On the Altvater in Silesia there occurs the form sudetica Stgr.
In the Malagasy region, this medium-sized Pheidole is easily distinguished from the teneriffana group and other species revised here by minor workers that combine a distinct promesonotal posterior process with a convex postpetiolar ventral process and major workers that combine the distinct promesonotal posterior process with a more elongate head shape and posterolateral lobes that are not rugose or reticulate.
Size: Males 65~80 mm, females 68~85 mm in length. Tenodera angustipennis are often brown or green. Tenodera angustipennis proportionately have a more elongate pronotum and shorter, narrower tegmina and wings than Tenodera sinensis. T. angustipennis have a brown, patterned streak on each of their transparent hind wings, while T. sinensis have hind wings that are completely patterned and brown. Bugguide.
Macroglossum mediovitta is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is found from southern Japan (Ryukyu Archipelago), Taiwan and southern China (Hong Kong) south through Thailand and Malaysia (Peninsular, Sarawak) to Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan). It is similar to Macroglossum heliophila, but the forewings are more elongate and the distal margin is less convex. Adults are attracted to the flowers of Duranta erecta.
The cap is pale brownish cream, yellow to tan or pale brown to grayish brown. The edges of the ridges are usually lighter than the pits, and somewhat oval in outline, sometimes bluntly cone- shaped with a rounded top or more elongate. Caps are hollow, attached to the stem at the lower edge, and typically about broad by tall. The flesh is brittle.
However, there is insufficient information to determine how it might differ from other subspecies of lion. Deraniyagala did not explain explicitly how he diagnosed the holotype of this subspecies as belonging to a lion, though he justified its allocation to a distinct subspecies of lion by its being "narrower and more elongate" than those of recent lions in the British Natural History Museum collection.
Sauris interruptata is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Moore in 1888. It is found in India's north-east Himalayas, Sri Lanka, the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan, Myanmar, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, the Philippines, and possibly the Moluccas and New Guinea. The wings of the male are more elongate than those of the female. Forewings fasciated with buff, apple green and blackish brown.
This species occurs in temperate northwestern Pacific Ocean off Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam Bạch Long Vĩ, Cô Tô, Hạ Long Bay; off Australia (Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia), and in Indonesian waters (Bali) and off New Caledonia. The shell from these last two sites differ somewhat from the holotype by being a bit more elongate and having a dark sepia color.Geiger, D. L. 1998. Recent genera and species of the family Haliotidae (Gastropoda: Vetigastropoda).
The Ironcap Banksia is an open, spreading, woody shrub some high by up to wide. The foliage is glaucous (pale blue-grey), with bright green new growth. The roundish to elongated golden-yellow inflorescences appear in autumn, larger and more elongate than spherical as with the other forms of B. sphaerocarpa. It derives its name from its 50–65 mm long pistils, the longest of any banksia, and perianth (49–55 mm).
The skin of the fish appears scaleless, but has minute, embedded scales scattered on the body. The lateral line has a strong and moderately long arch dorsally, with its posterior section having 12 to 30 scutes. The juveniles are distinctive due to their 'threadfin' appearance of having trailing anal and dorsal fin filaments which recede with age. During maturation, the species also becomes more elongate and more like that of other genera of jacks.
Hindwing: differs from that of the male as follows: the rich chrome yellow replaced by dull white touched with yellow along the dorsal margin and in the cell and lightly irrorated in cell and interspaces with black scales, the inner margin of the black terminal border produced in the interspaces into more elongate cones. In both sexes: antennae black, head, thorax and abdomen above greyish; beneath white. Wingspan of 83–90 mm.
E. christi Rätzer (36 c). This species comes nearest to cassiope, being however at least one-third larger. The forewing more elongate than in cassiope, apex and distal margin rounded, also in the hindwing, the apex of the latter being obtusely pointed in cassiope. The brown transverse band of the forewing is of even width and runs parallel with the distal margin, being sharply defined proximally and distally and separated by the veins into spots, usually 6.
Paucidentomys vermidax is larger than Melasmothrix naso, Sommeromys macrorhinos and Tateomys macrocercus, similar in size to Tateomys rhinogradoides, smaller than Rhynchomys soricoides and substantially smaller than species of Echiothrix. The face is more elongate than that of any other Sulawesi shrew-rat, but similar in this regard to Rhynchomys. It has a very long rostrum (relative to other Sulawesi shrew-rats), small eyes, large ears, a soft pelage and a long, thick, hairy and dorsoventrally bicoloured tail.
The forewings covered by mixed pale and darker cinereous scales, the latter concentrated along the costa and the apical area. There is a triad of blackish dots, the first and third at the half and two-thirds, at the middle and the end of the cell, the second more elongate, situated below the first, closer to the dorsal margin. The hindwings are shining whitish with slight mixture of blackish scales basally. The larvae possibly feed on Lycium californicum.
Specimen AMNH 5458 Matthew and Brown also described a fifth skeleton (AMNH 5664), which Charles H. Sternberg had collected in 1917 and sold to their museum. It was smaller than other Gorgosaurus specimens, with a lower, lighter skull and more elongate limb proportions. Many sutures between bones were unfused in this specimen as well. Matthew and Brown noted that these features were characteristic of juvenile tyrannosaurids, but still described it as the holotype of a new species, G. sternbergi.
Both species are described from specimens found in the Florissant Formation of Colorado which, at 39 million years old, is younger in age then the Horsefly locality, dated to approximately 49 million years old. P. campbelli can be distinguished from both younger species in that P. campbelli is the smallest species of the three. P. megoura also possesses an abdomen which is twice as long as that of P. campbelli. P. misera has a larger and more elongate abdomen.
It has been mistaken in the past as A. melanoxylon, A. myrtifoliia, and A. mucronata and has been suggested to be a hybrid due to its rarity and limited sexual reproduction, however has multiple morphological differences. Most closely related to A. kettlewelliae, which is distinguished especially by its more elongate phyllodes with the gland 5–15 mm above the pulvinus and pods 5–10 cm long and is a species that occurs only on the mainland of Australia.
Aguarunichthys was originally described due to the distinctive finger-like projections of the gas bladder. There are three pairs of barbels, one pair of long maxillary barbels and two pairs of shorter chin barbels. A. inpai has small spots on a cream-coloured body, while the other two species have large darker spots on an olive-brown body. A. torosus appears more elongate (it has a longer distance between its dorsal fin and adipose fin) and has a smaller eye than A. tocantinsensis.
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are bone grey, with dark brown marginal spots, one near the base of the costa, one scarcely beyond its middle, one a little beyond the flexus and another more elongate on the middle of the dorsum. A small spot at the end of the cell another in the fold and a series around the apex and termen are less strongly indicated. In conjunction with the first dorsal spot are a few projecting ochreous marginal scales.
The leaf margins are serrate with two to three orders of teeth present. Unlike N. dunthornei the leaves of N. alabamensis are in general more elongate with finer teeth and secondary veins which are more alternate. N. dunthornei differs from both modern genera in the leaves having an overall thicker midrib. The presence of Neviusia in the Eocene Okanogan Highlands floras suggests the tribe Kerrieae originated in Asia and radiated to North America but did not become a major floristic component.
Ackery P.R. (1975) A guide to the genera and species of Parnassiinae (Lepidoptera:Papilionidae). Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist. (Ent.) 31, 4 pdf P. actius can be recognized by the more elongate and a little more pointed forewing. Ground colour usually pure white, more rarely slightly yellowish; vitreous margin of forewing narrow, as a rule not reaching the posterior angle, or the edge itself posteriorly narrowly white: submarginal spots feebly developed; in male usually only the anterior costal spot centred with red, in female both spots.
Hypoplectrus gemma is found on shallow reefs, at depths of . The species in the genus Hypoplectrus are synchronous hermaphrodites and they have the ability to move between "male" and "female" roles when spawning. The colour pattern of this species resembles that of the blue chromis (Chromis cyanea) and it has been suggested that the blue hamlet mimics the blue chromis. The resemblance between the two species is enhanced by the more elongate body shape and deeply forked tail of H. gemma compared to its congeners.
Priscagama (meaning "earliest Agama" in Latin) is an extinct genus of iguanian lizard from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia and China. It belongs to an extinct family of iguanians called Priscagamidae (or subfamily Priscagaminae). Several incomplete skulls have been found in the Barun Goyot and Djadochta formations, and were originally referred to the genus Mimeosaurus; the type species Priscagama gobiensis was named in 1984 when it was recognized that these skulls belonged to a distinct species. Priscagama differs from most other priscagamids in having a more elongate, lightly-built skull.
The spider genus Sosippus is, with other genera in the subfamily Hippasinae, unique among the spiders in the family Lycosidae in producing a large funnel- web resembling that of the Agelenidae. The posterior spinnerets are more elongate than in other wolf spiders. Eye arrangement in female S. texanus Their eyes are arranged in three rows, with four small eyes in the anterior (lowest), two large eyes in the second, and two smaller lateral eyes in the third row. Sosippus is found from Central America to the southern United States.
The main difference between S. compactus and S. crassus, however, is that the inflorescence of S. compactus is short and congested with the spikes overlapping almost completely, whereas that of S. crassus is more elongate with the spikes overlapping only partially. In addition, S. crassus tends to be a more robust species than S. compactus. Similar to other sedges, plants in this group are very difficult to identify. It appears that part of this problem is caused by the tendency of the southern African Schoenus to form hybrids with each other.
The 2 spots placed close to the outer margin bear small black dots. On the hindwing there are 3 - 4 red-brown or brownish spots of which the one near the median vein in cellule 4 is placed a little more basad, being always larger and more elongate, while in melampusi it is never larger than the other spots of the hindwing. The shape and position of this spot and the absence of black centres are the main characters of eriphyle, which moreover is distinctly larger than melampus.
The height of the shell attains 32 mm, its diameter 39 mm. This species is allied to Trochus maculatus Linnaeus, 1758 but differs in the following characters: the form is more conic, the body whorl is less convex and less elevated. The spiral lirae on the inferior part of the body whorl are less conspicuous. The longitudinal folds are strongly developed, rendering the periphery dentate ; Trochus incarnatus Philippi, 1846 (a taxon inquirendum) differs from this species in being less conical, smaller, more elongate, with fewer lirae on thebase (7 or 8 instead of 12), etc.
Additional Struthiomimus specimens from the lower Lance Formation and equivalents are larger (similar to Gallimimus in size) and tend to have straighter and more elongate hand claws, similar to those seen in Ornithomimus. One relatively complete Lance Formation specimen, BHI 1266, was originally referred to Ornithomimus sedens (named by Marsh in 1892) and later classified as Struthiomimus sedens.Farlow, J.O., 2001, "Acrocanthosaurus and the maker of Comanchean large-theropod footprints", In: Tanke, Carpenter, Skrepnick and Currie (eds). Mesozoic Vertebrate Life: New Research Inspired by the Paleontology of Philip J. Currie. pp.
As is the case in other volutes, the columella presents an array of strong oblique columellar folds (also known as plicae, 9 to 11 of them in this species), which are more conspicuous anteriorly.The corneous, claw-like operculum partially covers the shell aperture. Sexual dimorphism can be observed in the shells of this species: the shells of the males tend to be more elongate with a smoother outer surface, whereas the shells of the females are generally wider and more nodulose. The angle of the spire also differs between males and females.
The toothcomb—a comblike structure formed by the lower front teeth, characteristic of lemurs and lorisoids—is similar to that of other lemurids. The two halves of the mandible (lower jaw) do not fuse at the mandibular symphysis. However, there are some differences in tooth morphology from the living brown and ring-tailed lemurs, similar to those between the ruffed lemurs and the other genera. In Pachylemur, the talonid basin (a basin at the back end of the lower molars) is more elongate, and it is not lined by an entoconid cusp.
The pleurocoel is more elongate, but like the anterior dorsal there is no ventral (underside) concavity. A posterior dorsal is also known and is probably the last dorsal before the sacrum (vertebrae between the pelves). It preserves the entire centrum and most of the neural arch, and is significantly shortened in length compared to the other dorsals, although it is about as wide across as tall. A shallow pleurocoel is also present, but is placed higher on the side of the centrum and disappears into the neural arch.
The centrum is long, tall and wide, with the total vertebra being tall. Anterior caudals of the Cetiosaurus leedsi specimen NHMUK R1984 are very similar to those of Cetiosauriscus, but the neural arches are not as tall in C. leedsi, and the transverse processes lack a prominent ridge along the top of them. Middle and posterior caudals from a nearly continuous series of 27 bones are well preserved in Cetiosauriscus. The later vertebrae are slightly more elongate than those in front, and slightly less concave in their anterior face.
Biology of Paraulax species is unknown but given they are associated with Nothofagus forests their biology is probably associated with the pteromalid gall community. This species is named after the place where it was first collected, Los Queules National Reserve. P. queulensis closely resembles P. perplexa, bearing common traits such as colour, habitus and several morphological characters. P. queulensis differs by having a more elongate body, which in the female is 4 times longer than it is high; its mesosoma is 1.6 times longer than high, while its metasoma is 1.9 times longer than high.
Between the two species, the most unique difference is coloration and morphology. A.longiforceps, the new species, can be differentiated from A.digitalis by the more slender (rather than connex), flexor margin, the longer male minor chela, more elongate dactylus, possession of a single (rather than two), obliquely transverse white bands on the spot which is located on the lateral surface of the fourth abdominal region. The present day new species is referred to the Alpheus brevirostris species group, mainly because of the compressed palm of the major cheliped and the subpatulate ductylus of the pereiopods 3 and 4.
Forewing with a subterminal series of blue or sometimes slightly green elongate spots, curving strongly inwards and getting more elongate opposite the apex, forming almost an oblique bar up to the costa. Hindwing: the terminal margin broadly bright chestnut, sometimes with a subterminal paler spot in two or more of the interspaces. Underside pale brown, the basal two-thirds of both forewing and hindwing densely, the outer third more sparsely covered with dark ferruginous, somewhat broad, transverse striae. Forewing with a broadly triangular pale purplish- white preapical mark; both forewings and hindwings with a broad subterminal area purplish white.
Most modern cetaceans have a falcate process which juts out prominently halfway between the hypoglossal canal and the ear; Ambulocetus has a similar process continuous of the pterygoid, but it runs alongside and behind the hypoglossal canal. Like many other archaeocetes, the pterygoids, sphenoids, and palatines form a wall lining the bottom of the nasal canal, which causes the palate to extend all the way to the ear. Like other cetaceans, Ambulocetus lacks the postglenoid foramen. The ectotympanic bone which supports the eardrum is similar to that of Pakicetus, about as long as wide, whereas later archaeoecetes have more elongate ectotympanics.
Snelson's unique sculpture style is well articulated in Needle Tower. The structure style displayed is known as "tensegrity," a description given by Snelson's former professor Buckminster Fuller to the melding of tension and structural integrity. According to Snelson: > Tensegrity describes a closed structural system composed of a set of three > or more elongate compression struts within a network of tension tendons, the > combined parts mutually supportive in such a way that the struts do not > touch one another, but press outwardly against nodal points in the tension > network to form a firm, triangulated, prestressed, tension and compression > unit.
The Ascocerida are derived from the michelinocerid family Clinocertidae in the early Middle Ordovician, possibly from Clinoceras through such slender forms as Montyoceras and Hebetoceras. The connection between these slender deciduous forms and the typically ascoceroid Probillingsites from the early Upper Ordovician can be made through the slightly inflated Redpathoceras. A phylogenetic sequence can be seen in the Ascoceratidae, from Probillingsites through Schucertoceras, then Billingsites, in the Upper Ordovician, and finally to the middle and upper Silurian Ascoceras. Changes involve the arrangement and complexity of septa in the mature conch and in its shape, ending with the more elongate and compressed mature Ascoceras.
Drumlins occur in various shapes and sizes, including symmetrical (about the long axis), spindle, parabolic forms, and transverse asymmetrical forms; their long axis is parallel to the direction of movement of the formative flow at the time of formation. Drumlins are typically long, less than high and between wide. Drumlins generally have a length:width ratio of between 1:2 and 1:3.5, with the questionable assumption that more elongate forms correspond to faster ice motion. That is, since ice flows in laminar flow, the resistance to flow is frictional and depends on area of contact; elongate, subglacial landforms produced by ice would represent relatively slow flow rates.
The males have ochreous-yellow forewings with a blackish discal dot before the middle, confluent with a large blackish blotch, which occupies the whole posterior half of the wing except the costal and terminal margins. The hindwings are pale ochreous yellow with a broad blackish terminal band. The forewings of the females are whitish, pinkish tinged with four oval ochreous spots, bordered with blackish scales and surrounded with more or less blackish irroration (sprinkles). The first spot is found in the disc at one-third, the second obliquely beyond and below the first, the third and fourth closely approximated, arranged transversely in the disc before two-thirds, the latter more elongate.
The forewings are blackish with three ochreous-yellow oval spots in a transverse series in the disc at one-third, the lowest more elongate anteriorly. There is an elongate-oval deep ochreous-yellow blotch extending in the disc from before the middle to four-fifths, with two acute posterior projections touching the termen. There is also a fine yellowish terminal line. The hindwings are deep ochreous yellow with a blackish costal band, with a triangular projecting lobe towards the base, and a projecting bar on the end of the cell, as well as a narrow irregular blackish fascia from this along three-fourths of the termen, with a submedian triangular projection.
Square Butte, Shaw Butte (near the town of Ft. Shaw), and Cascade Butte (next to the town of Cascade) are three laccoliths belonging to the Adel field which are famous local landmarks. More than of rock which used to exist on top of Square Butte has subsequently eroded to reveal the igneous rock which forms the laccolith. Each laccolith was fed by a radial dike at its distal end where it rolled over from vertical to form the horizontal laccolith. Laccoliths spread from the end of their feeder dike towards the more-elongate axis of the parent volcano, in response to load-imposed stresses of the volcano.
Cervical vertebrae of Eolambia, showing unusual third cervical (A) Like Equijubus, Probactrosaurus, Gongpoquansaurus, and other styracosternans, Eolambia has cervical vertebrae which are very opisthocoelous, meaning that their front ends are strongly convex while their back ends are strongly concave. Unusually, the front end of the third cervical is set slightly higher than the back end, which is not seen in any other cervical vertebrae. Vertebrae from further back in the neck have a greater angle between the elongate articular processes known as the postzygapophyses, and also more elongate transverse processes. On the transverse processes, there are further articular processes – the rounded parapophyses and rod-like diapophyses – are located.
Like I. brasiliensis, the largetooth cookiecutter shark is an ectoparasite that feeds by excising plugs of flesh from larger animals. While I. brasiliensis is theorized to latch onto the surface of its prey and bite with a twisting motion, producing a circular wound containing spiral grooves inside from its lower teeth, the largetooth cookiecutter shark seems to employ a "sweeping" bite that produces a larger, more elongate (twice as long as the width of the mouth), oval wound containing parallel tooth grooves. This shark has been known to bite bony fishes, sharks, and marine mammals. One study has found that the largetooth cookiecutter shark is responsible for 80% of the cookiecutter wounds found on cetaceans off Bahia, Brazil.
Titanosaurinae included Titanosaurus and the new genus Aeolosaurus, united by multiple features of the caudal vertebrae; the new clade Saltasaurinae was created to include Saltasaurus and the new genus Neuquensaurus, united by very distinct dorsals, caudals, and ilia; the new clade Antarctosaurinae was created to include Antarctosaurus, distinguished by large size, a different form of braincase, more elongate girdle bones, and more robust limb bones; and Argyrosaurinae was created for Argyrosaurus, bearing a more robust forelimb and hand and more primitive dorsals. The new genus Epachthosaurus was named for a more basal titanosaurid classified as Titanosauridae indet. along with unnamed specimens, Clasmodosaurus and Campylodoniscus. John Stanton McIntosh provided a synopsis of sauropod relationships in 1990, using Titanosauridae as the group to contain all taxa like previous authors.
Gilmore, at the Smithsonian, along with Stewart, first described the species as a sauropod in the January 1945 issue of the Journal of Paleontology, a classification made in error and without positive evidence. Gilmore only deemed the species a sauropod by process of elimination; when he was left with the possibilities of Hadrosauridae and Sauropoda, he dismissed the former, saying, "The more elongate centra of the Chronister specimen, with the possible exception of Hypsibema crassicauda Cope, and the presence of chevron facets only on the posterior end appear sufficient to show that these vertebral centra do not pertain to a member of the Hadrosauridae." The species, first called Neosaurus missouriensis, was renamed to Parrosaurus missouriensis later that year by Gilmore and Stewart because the name "Neosaurus" was preoccupied. However, Gilmore died soon after, and the bones were left untouched for several decades.
The forewings are ochreous whitish with three oblique wedge-shaped ochreous-brown or deep yellow-ochreous patches on the costa, blackish on the costal margin, the first towards the base, less marked, the second before the middle, the third at about three-fourths, sometimes extended almost to the termen, and marked in the disc with a fine black dash, the two latter edged posteriorly by clear white strigulae. The discal stigmata are black and there is a suffused ochreous spot on the fold at one-fourth, a larger one beneath the first discal, and one more elongate and distinct between the first and second discal. A triangular grey tornal spot is found beneath the second discal, edged anteriorly with some black scales and the apical portion of the costa is suffused with ochreous. The hindwings are grey.
