- Amplexi — The plural form of the term amplexus (biological ritual embraces), or a derived form of the verb amplexa; in a broad sense, it designates the specific moments or instances of firm clasping mating found in various species of amphibians or invertebrates during breeding seasons. Also, in classical Latin, it represents the first-person singular perfect indicative of the verb 'amplector', meaning 'I embraced' or 'I encompassed'.
