(1) The whitish, half-moon-shaped area at the base of your nail is called the lunula (LOO-nu-luh).(2) The whitish crescent-shaped area at the base of the nail is called the lunula .(3) In patients with severe renal disease, the proximal portion of the nail bed can turn white, obliterating the lunula and giving a half-brown, half-white appearance, also called half-and-half nails.(4) Injuries classified as zone II are located distal to the lunula of the nail bed and are complicated by the bony exposure of the distal phalanx.(5) The lateral sides of the nail plate show exaggerated convexity, the lunula disappears, and the nail takes on a yellow hue.(6) It is best distinguished from the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail (P. canadensis) by the entirely yellow lunular submarginal spots on the underside of the hindwing.(7) Therefore, we cannot support Durham's derivation of New World lunulate clades from an ancestor in common with protoscutellids, either.(8) It is this contrast between the syntactical presumption of the lunulae and the effect is actually has which poets have exploited.(9) When the weapon is outside of the spheroid, its system is limited in its search to a lunular segment of a sphere.(10) The study has also resulted in a clearer picture of the biogeography and biostratigraphy of the Monophorasteridae, and their great significance in the evolution of lunulate sand dollars in the Americas.(11) The vane guide plate is inserted in the lunular hollow formed by the curved walls of the vane.(12) Mooi also established that other lunulate taxa such as the Astriclypeidae Stefanini, 1912, were not more closely related to the mellitids than monophorasterids.(13) They also have important biogeographic implications, given that lunulate sand dollars are today rather rare in the regions in which monophorasterids were once common.(14) Expression of ribs, and the lunular pit in Bothrocorbula, are used to a lesser extent for species discrimination.
