mamillary
Explanation:
at the expense of going into boring personals: i have a cat who happens to have a magnetic charm to ticks. the first time i saw a tick on his fur i thought he had a sort of neoplasm, or smth like an hemorrhoid pile on his neck, and didn't touch it for days believing i would hurt the cat :-)))) (please don't laugh, i'm a catlover and as far as i know only dogs have ticks, it was the first tick i ever saw in my life :-) anyway, some ticks take on a mamillary appearance as they suck their hosts and swell, because their tegument is smooth and transparent (the color turning into a reddish-brown, exactly the color of a nipple - and maybe you know, an hemorrhoid pile is also called "meme" in turkish, nipple that is.) so, i think here it simply says that "the tegument is not of a mamillary appearance" which you would put in a better english yourself. hence i understand that your species of tick doesn't have a soft, smooth, and transparent tegument.
__________

in an internet check just before posting this i've come up with the info that there are "hard ticks" and "soft ticks". those who take a mamillary appearance when well-fed must be the soft ones; hard ones look like other bugs (they don't get swollen with blood, i guess). please compare their appearances in the picture at the link below:

and in this page: http://www.cvm.okstate.edu/~users/jcfox/htdocs/clinpara/Lst5...
there\'s a reference to \"mamillary appearance of the tegument\" for the ear tick, under the title \"Otobius megnini\".

the easiest way to get rid of a tick: 1 drop of olive oil on the tick, then hold it firmly and turn clockwise with one fast twist. falls at once :-)

This seems the closest to the context. (I was not "playing ...games' as was suggested elsewhere. That was the only relevant text I had to go on.) The writer states that ticks prey on all 'memeliler" so Xola Hanim's cat was not an anomaly!

mammal


Explanation:
Louis,

I checked out the websites for the word “teguman.” Based on my poor knowledge on your text, is teguman a lizard, namely a reptile? I know you’ve already said that it is a bug and it could be ‘tegument’.
Then I read your correspondence with Xola. You’re saying that it is an old text. The word mamilone could be memeli, which is “mammal.” Hence reptile is not a mammal; it’s a cold-blooded animal. Just a thought…

Tegument & mammilone


Explanation:

I aggree with other fellow translators that you have to give logical explanation instead of puzzle game.

YOUR SECOND COMMENT HAS AN answer embedded into explanation but I gues it , rather than a breast like structure, is refering the "küt" in Turkish.

Definately you may just post the nomenclature of the species so it will give us better hint.

I gave a few more minutes to check out some Artropoda database sites.
I tried possible spellings of mamilone and also nipple or nipple like, and came out nothing.

If it was a taxonomy text in Turkish I would assume meme veya mememsi would be some of the words to express nipple like structures on teguement regardless it is in dorsal or ventral.

I would suggest following sites

Here you a last hint:

I almost finished reading www.klimik.org.tr site paper.
That paper divides ticks into 3 main group based on their life cylces.

The ones that need more than 3 host to complete the cycle are unique in replacing the skins here we can say teguments.
This occur in free form of tick or larva not on or in animal which in most cases are mammals.

But on the other hand one host requiring ticks are spending whole life cycle on host which may very well be a mammal.

Therefore, I would also remind you that may be the authors intention is to express tegument forms (not larvas or not young adults) would not be seen as parasites of mammals that are common hosts.

therefore TEGUMANS MAMOLINE DEGILDIR may also express that the tegumented forms would not require a mammalian host (because they are not single host or one-host parasites)


or tegumented forms do not
