The central core of a cholesteatoma is made up of anucleate keratin squamae.

In some rodents, squamae are small tubercles resembling scales on the sole of the hindfeet.Voss et al., 2002, p. 6 Among oryzomyine rodents, their development is variable; most have well-developed squamae, but in others they are indistinct or entirely absent.

Weksler, 2006, p. 23; Weksler et al., 2006, p. 18 Delomys sublineatus and Peromyscus maniculatus also have squamae.

Wings more or less yellow at the base. Squamae with long marginal cilia. Black halteres. Short subdiscoid abdomen.
|
|
The remainder of the wing is colourless and transparent. Its squamae and squamal fringe are brown to dark brown.
|
|
The Daka calvaria temporal squamae measure at approximately 5.7mm thick centrally. The posterior temporal is approximately 10.6mm thick adjacent to the occipitomastoid suture.
|
|
The nodes on the upper carina become little raised hollow rounded squamae on the second whorl. The aperture has a reflexed and thickened margin. The umbilicus is very wide and spirally dentate. This shell is nacreous within.
|
|
On the hindfeet, which are long and narrow, ungual tufts of hairs surround the bases of the toes. In T. bolivaris, the sole usually entirely lacks squamae (small, scale-like structures), but T. talamancae does have squamae on part of its sole. The claw of the first toe extends about to the middle of the first phalange of the second and that of the fifth toe extends nearly to the base of the second phalange of the fourth. The tail is at least about as long as the head and body, sometimes slightly longer.

This is in contrast to many insects in which the males have larger (even holoptic) eyes, whereas the females have normal eyes. The squamae are disproportionately large, completely covering the halteres, and the abdomen has an inflated appearance, often practically globular. The tarsi are equipped with large claws with three pulvilli below them.

170 The very long tail is dark both above and below and has rectangular scales. The hindfeet are broad, with long, narrow digits. They have poorly developed ungual tufts, patches of hair between the digits and along the plantar margins. The squamae, small structures resembling scales that cover the soles of the hindfeet in many oryzomyines, are indistinct.

The nucleus is obsolete. The next whorls contain spirals and radiating ribs, forming small spines when they cross. On the last three whorls the ribs disappear and only the spirals remain, the uppermost being in the last 5 whorls, conspicuously the largest. These lirae are closely beset with compressed spines, which resemble squamae, with very fine growth striae in the interstices.

Alyxia squamulosa, commonly known as alyxia vine, is a species of shrub in the family Apocynaceae. It is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. The specific epithet derives from the many bracteoles, or ‘scales’ (Latin: squamae, with the diminutive suffix -ulus) that subtend the flowers. The plant previously known as Alyxia lindii is considered a taxonomic synonym of A. squamulosa, being reassigned in 2002.

The blunt nucleus is rather smooth, followed by a whorl which is simply costate. The other whorls have 3 spiral lirae, crossed by ribs, which form blunt spines on the upper spiral, round beads on the median one and compressed, spinelike squamae (decumbent scales) on the third spiral or peripheral keel. On the body whorl these ribs become lamellose and double, each rib consisting of about 2 lamellae. The sutures are deeply channelled.

The point d on the anterior side of the triangle marks the articulation of the radial vein with the second axillary sclerite. The line between d and c is the plica basalis (bf), or fold of the wing at the base of the mediocubital field. At the posterior angle of the wing base in some Diptera there is a pair of membranous lobes (squamae, or calypteres) known as the alula. The alula is well developed in the house fly.

It was made from small metal scales sewn to a fabric backing. It is typically seen on depictions of standard bearers, musicians, centurions, cavalry troops, and even auxiliary infantry, but could be worn by regular legionaries as well. A shirt of scale armour was shaped in the same way as a lorica hamata, mid-thigh length with the shoulder doublings or cape. The individual scales (squamae) were either iron or bronze, or even alternating metals on the same shirt.
|
|
The individual scales, called squamae were very small scales made of either iron or brass. Occasionally, the scales would be tinned in white metal. Each scale had a 90° fold and a medial rib The scales were wired or laced together in horizontal rows that were then laced or sewn to the backing of mail. There was a rare type where the backing was a mail lorica hamata, effectively giving two layers of defence, but at the cost of greater weight and expense.

The sculpture consists of numerous spirals, of which the peripheral one and 2 or 3 lower ones are more prominent. At all there are on penultimate whorl of the largest specimen about 10 stronger spirals and 3 intermediate ones in each interstice, of these spirals. The median one is again stronger than the other ones (in the smaller specimen this arrangement is less conspicuous). Each of these spirals is closely covered with a row of granules, having the character of compressed squamae on the principal lirae.

It is continuous with the upper calypter and distally it is (usually) separated from the wing by an indentation called the alular incision. Aluli are a newly acquired feature of the Diptera (Hennig, 1973) and aluli are usually absent or poorly developed in the Nematocera (excepting Anisopodidae) but present and relatively large in the Brachycera. In higher Diptera between the alula and the thorax is the upper calyptra, also the tegula. The calyptra are just below the junction of the wing with the thorax and are part of the axillary membrane of the wings of some Diptera – the two basal lobes are called the calypteres (also termed squamae, squamulae).

Weksler, 2006, p. 24 The squamae, small structures resembling scales that cover the soles of the hindfeet in many oryzomyines, are well developed. The claw of the first digit extends nearly to the end of the first phalanx of the second toe and the claw of the fifth toe extends slightly beyond the first phalanx of the fourth toe. As in most oryzomyines, the female has eight mammae.Weksler, 2006, p. 17, table 5 Head and body length is .Weksler, 2006, table 8 In Osgood's original two specimens, an old female and an adult female, tail length is , respectively; hindfoot length is ; and greatest skull length is . E. polius has 12 thoracic, 7 or 8 lumbar, and 35 or 36 caudal vertebrae;Steppan, 1995, table 5 the presence of 12 thoracic vertebrae is a putative synapomorphy of Oryzomyini.
