Preferred Label : priapium;
Uberon definition : A complex muscular and bony clasping and copulatory organ derived mainly from the
pelvic fins, found under the head of male Phallostethoidea with the anus opening on
one side and the genital pore on the other. The structure varies among family members.
Hook-like ctenactia articulate basally with the aproctal axial which is movably articulated
with the proctal axial bone itself, suspended anteriorly by the outer (and sometimes
inner) pulvinular bone from the cleithrum and perhaps the urohyal. Other elements
are the priapal ribs, the anteplural cartilage (supporting elements along with the
cleithrum and the pulvinar), the toxactinium, the infrasulcar and the uncus (forming
the claspers along with the ctenactinium), the penial, basipenial, papillary, prepapillary
and cristate bones (forming the papillary unit).;
