In the Gnathobdellidae the prevailing number of annuli to a segment is five; but here again the number is often increased, and Trocheta has no less than eleven.
This corresponds to the usual presence (in the Rhynchobdellidae) of three annuli to each segment.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "annuli" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
