| 1. | The sublingua in lemuriform primates is fully developed and particularly unique.
|
| 2. | Simians do not have a sublingua, but the lingual frenulum, and other sublingual tissues.
|
| 3. | The plica mediana is usually made of cartilage and attaches the sublingua to the underside of the tongue.
|
| 4. | Instead, the cartilage of the sublingua is a separately developed structure specifically adapted to support the sublingua.

| 5. | Instead, the cartilage of the sublingua is a separately developed structure specifically adapted to support the sublingua.
|
| 6. | The plica fimbriata is highly developed and specialized in lemurs, and makes up the majority of the sublingua.
|
| 7. | Galagos ( bushbabies ) have a secondary tongue, or sublingua, used for grooming, hidden under their first.
|
| 8. | Tarsiers have a large but highly generalized sublingua, but their closest living relatives, monkeys and apes, lack one.
|
| 9. | Tarsiers lack a toothcomb, which may explain why their sublingua lacks the serrations typically found on the sublingua of lemuriforms.

| 10. | Tarsiers lack a toothcomb, which may explain why their sublingua lacks the serrations typically found on the sublingua of lemuriforms.
