Fig. 8: The tongue of Vidua seen in lateral view. the two insertions of the M. genioglossus are onto the paraglossale and into the dorsal mucosa as normal for passeriform birds. It should be noted, although we do not wish to draw any conclusions at this time, that the morphology of the tongue (those parts examined in this study) in Vidua is similar to those of the Plocepasserinae or the Estrildidae, not to that of the Ploceinae. Estrildidae: Of the many genera in this family, we examined only Estrilda (Fig. 9), Poephila, Lonchura (Fig. 10) and Amadina; these were all similar to one another. The seed-cup is short and thick with a short and strongly sigmoid paraglossale that terminates at the ventral surface of the tongue. The preglossale and M. hg. anterior are absent. In Lonchura, the M. genioglossus divides into two slips and inserts on the paraglossale and into the dorsal mucosa. In Estrilda only the posterior slip inserting into the dorsal mucosa remains. Little or no taxonomic significance should be given to this Fig. 9: The tongue of Estrilda seen in lateral Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig.
