Venenosa (ven-e-no'sä), n. pl. [NL., neut. pl. of LL. venenosus, full of poison: see venenose.] One of three sections into which serpents ( Ophidia ) have been divided, according as they are venomous or otherwise, the other sections being Innocua and Suspect a. The definition of the group as having grooved fangs in the upper jaw, followed by smaller solid, hooked teeth, would make Venenosa nearly equivalent to the Proteroglypha; but if applied to poisonous snakes at large it would be equivalent to Pro teroglypha and Sole no glyph a together. It is disused now, except as a convenient descriptive term, like Than a to phidia. Also called Nocua. venenoset (ven'ē-nos), a. [L. venenosus, poisonous: see venenous.] us.] Full of venom; poisonous, as a serpent; belonging to the Venenosa; nocuous; than at ophidian. Malpighi demonstrates that all such tumours, where any insects are found, are raised up by some vene nose liquor, which, together with their eggs, such insects shed upon the leaves.
