Proboscidate


Definition:

  • (a.) Having a proboscis; proboscidial.

Proboscis


Definition:

  • (n.) A hollow organ or tube attached to the head, or connected with the mouth, of various animals, and generally used in taking food or drink; a snout; a trunk.
  • (n.) By extension, applied to various tubelike mouth organs of the lower animals that can be everted or protruded.
  • (n.) The nose.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) Facial features that were identified included a proboscis (three cases), midline facial cleft (three cases), and hypotelorism (five cases).
  • (3) Carbon-tetrachloride was used to maintain the proper positions of the proboscis and the labella rendering a better view of the fine structures.
  • (4) After ingesting even a small amount of sucrose, the fly begins making frequent, tight turns, flexes its front tarsi to bring more chemosensory hairs into contact with the substrate and repeatedly extends and retracts its proboscis.
  • (5) The presence of the stimulant factor was established by forcing gravid females to touch the testing water with tarsi and proboscis.
  • (6) External nares and nasal passageways, albeit blind-ended, were prominent in the proboscis.

  • (12) Because of their simplicity and potentially low cost, the techniques described here would be appealing for screening large numbers of tsetse samples from the field for the presence of any trypanosome residing in the guts or proboscis of the vector.
