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.
