Appearance of the claws of Tarentola annularis at stages 35 to 37 of development. (A) The left manus in dorsal view at late stage 35 of development. Claws are evident protruding from the distal tip of all five digits. These are largest in digits III and IV, and smaller in digits I, II, and V (asterisks). (B) The left pes in dorsal view at stage 36 of development. The claws on digits I, II (asterisks), and V (not shown) have begun to regress, whereas those on digits III and IV continue to enlarge. (C) Dorsal aspect of the right pes at stage 37. By this point only a rudimentary claw is evident on digit II (asterisk), whereas that on digit III is further enlarged. Scale bars, 1 mm.
