n.
enlarged section of the leg after the first joint in certain insects
Dactylus
The dactylus is the tip region of the
tentacular club of
cephalopods and of the leg of some
crustaceans (see
arthropod leg). In cephalopods, the dactylus is narrow and often characterized by the asymmetrical placement of suckers (i.e., the ventral expansion of the club) and the absence of a dorsal protective membrane. In crustaceans, the dactylus, together with an outgrowth of the propodus, form the
claw.
