- Acariform — Having the form, appearance, or characteristic structure of a mite. In the hierarchical taxonomy of arthropods, the term defines organisms belonging to the superorder Acariformes, the largest and most diversified group of mites, notable for their distinct body segmentation (proterosoma and hysterosoma) and specific morphological traits of the mouthparts and legs.
- Adenopodous — Having feet or locomotor appendages provided with special secretory glands; in zoology, it describes invertebrate organisms (such as certain arthropods or annelids) whose limbs include glandular structures that eliminate adhesive, silky, or toxic substances. This structural term highlights a unique locomotor and defensive adaptation in the animal kingdom.
- Antenniform — Having the shape, appearance, or structure of an antenna; resembling an antenna or a long, thin sensory feeler. The term is used in biology to describe appendages, palps, tentacles, spines, or long filaments present in various species of insects, arachnids, fishes, or other marine organisms.
