Coxa

MH1 has a good specimen of the os coxa bone, more commonly known as “the hip bone”, which is, funnily enough, the “relevant hip bone” for diagnosing locomotion. ❋ Unknown (2010)

He devised a new treatment for «pes varus» and published a well-illustrated work on phosphorus necrosis and another on coxa vara. ❋ Unknown (1967)

Omia: the shoulders: the lateral anterior angles of an agglutinated thorax, when they are distinct: = see umbone: in Coleoptera; a corneous sclerite to which the muscles of the anterior coxa are attached; also the lateral margin of the prothorax; also the lateral margin of the scutellum in Carabids and Dytiscids. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Mesinfraepisternum: a sclerite formed between propleuron, mesepisternum, mesepimeron and second coxa. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Hypopleura: in Diptera, the space over the middle and hind coxa, between the metapleura and pteropleura: the side of the metasternum: the mesepimeron of the mesothorax. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Femur - ora: the thigh: usually the stoutest segment of the leg, articulated to the body through trochanter and coxa and bearing the tibia at its distal end: in Coccidae and quite commonly, the femur and trochanter are considered as one, for measuring purposes. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Metinfraepisternum: in Odonata; the sclerite just above base of 3d coxa; below metepisternum and before metepimeron. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

First lateral suture: Odonata; starts from beneath base of front wing behind humeral suture and meets it behind second coxa. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Feet: the legs or organs of locomotion; one pair attached to each thoracic segment; composed of coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia and tarsus only; plural of foot; q.v. Female: designated by "O+" the astronomical sign for Venus: that sex in which the ova are developed. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Hips: the coxa; q.v. Hirsute: clothed with long, strong hair; shaggy. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

THE PELVIS OR HAUNCH is formed by a single bone, the _coxa_ that in the foetus may be divided into three bones. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)

_Si crus a coxa sit disjunctum, eadem sit cura quam et in disjuncturam brachii et cubiti diximus, etc. ❋ Henry Ebenezer Handerson (N/A)

Humeral suture: in Odonata, runs from just in front the base of the fore-wing to the edge of the median coxa, separating the mesepisternum from the mesepimeron. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Nerinaeum: a ventral thoracic sclerite between the metasternum and posterior coxa in some Coleoptera. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Flocculus - i: a hairy or bristly appendage on the posterior coxa of some Hymenoptera. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

The two coxa, together with the sacral ligaments (sacrum) and the muscles of the quarter, enclose the pelvic cavity. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)

DEBILEM facito manu, debilem pede, coxa, tuber adstrue gibberum, lubricos quate dentis: vita dum superest, bene est. ❋ Maecenas (1912)

From them we learn that it requires a coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, tarsus, ungues, pulvillus, and anterior, medial and posterior spurs to provide a leg for a moth. ❋ Gene Stratton-Porter (1893)

If the angle is less than 120° the condition is one of coxa vara; if greater than 140°, coxa valga. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)

# -- Coxa valga is the reverse of coxa vara, the angle at the neck of the femur being over 140°. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
