Sides are black with a narrow Stripe of light yellow along the Center of the back, with small red spots on each Side they have scuta on the abdomin & on the tail and are not poisonous.
In one specimen, in which both the shell and operculum had undergone much disintegration, the scuta and terga were calcified together.
These consist of a pair of scutaand a pair of terga.
In the scuta the only difference is that the articular ridge seems rather longer, and the adductor ridge perhaps more prominent: in the terga, as already remarked, the basal margin on the carinal side does not slope so straight into the spur.
Subsequently, however, I found that the scuta in var.
It can be traced beyond the basal edges of the scuta, to just under the upper edge of the transparent opercular membrane, which unites the scuta to the sheath of the rostrum.
Mediterranean, and by the external characters of the shell alone cannot be distinguished from that species; but the striated scuta and beaked terga suffice to separate them.
In the corroded specimens, the orifice approaches to circular in outline, and is large and nearly entire: the scuta and terga are deeply interlocked together.
The scuta and terga are nearly of the same size and shape: they are mitre-formed, and higher than broad.
Although the attached scuta and terga are larger than the moveable pair, yet, owing to the small development of the carina and rostrum on the attached side, the upper or unattached side must be considered as the most developed.
The scuta have the growth ridges but little prominent; they are crossed by a faint longitudinal band of gray.
On each side of the orifice, there is a pair of calcareous beads, representing the two scuta and two terga of ordinary Cirripedes; and between the scuta a minute black eye is generally conspicuous.
The capitulum is not much compressed, a horizontal section giving an oval figure; it is placed obliquely on the peduncle, the scuta descending lower than the terga and carina.
Scuta locked into a deep fold in the terga: carina with a prominent central rounded ridge in the upper part: rostrum and latera rudimentary, about 1/15th of the width of the carina.
Scuta and terga with one or more diagonal lines of dark greenish-brown, square, slightly depressed marks.
Lepas: the primordial valves of the scuta in these three species, are seated at the basal angles of the lateral and larger segments.
Scuta with a prominent ridge extending, from the umbo to the apex, close to the occludent margin; fork of the carina with the prongs diverging at an angle of from 135 deg.
The inner surfaces of both scutaand terga, are roughened with little points.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "scuta" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
