Claviform: club-like in form; specifically, in Noctuid moths an
elongate spot or mark extending from the t. a. line through the
submedian interspace, toward and sometimes to the t.p. line.

Clavola: see clava.

Clavus: the club of an antenna lava and clavola: in Heteroptera, the
oblong sclerite at the base of the inferior margin of the hemelytra: the
knob at the end of the stigmal or radial veins in certain Hymenoptera.

Claws: the claw or hook-like structures at the end of the foot or
tarsus.

Cleavage: see segmentation of egg.

claws so divided that the parts lie one above the other.

Clintheriform: shaped like a plate.

Cloaca: see rectum.

Clubbed: see clavate.

Clypeal suture: marks the division between clypeus and epicranium.

Clypeate: shield-like in form.

Clypeate constriction: applied when a surface is drawn in from the
sides so as to produce a shield or saddle-like form.

Clypeo-frontal suture: = clypeal suture.

Clypeus: that portion of the head before or below the front, to which
the labrum is attached anteriorly; in Diptera often visible below the
margin of the mouth in front, as a more or less visor-shaped piece:=
epistoma.

Clypeus-anterior: see ante-clypeus.

Clypeus posterior: see post-clypeus.

Coactus: condensed; of a short stout form.

Coadapted: formed so as to work together to one end; as the mandible
and maxilla in Chrysopids, etc.

Coadunate: joined together at base; two or more joined together; said
of elytra when permanently united at the suture.

Coagulate: to congeal; to change from a fluid to a jelly.

Coagulum: a clotted mass, as of blood.

Coalescent: united or grown together.

Coarctate: contracted: compacted: applied to that form of pupa in
which all the members of the future adult are concealed by a
thickened, usually cylindric case or covering, which is often the
hardened skin of the larva: beginning with a narrow base, then
dilated and thickened.

Cocardes: retractile vesicular bodies on each side of the thorax in
certain Malachidae.
