Marjorie:

Lorate is defined as strap-shaped.  Perhaps lorata are strap-like
'somethings', markings, maybe?

I'll bet someone on this list can help a colleague of mine.
He is trying to find the definition of "lorata" used in connection with
teratology studies. The context is that after XXXX was applied to the skin
of
dam lorata appeared on pups at (whatever) age.
We can't find it in dictionaries, texts or on the net. 
We'd really like to know what this is. Any help will be appreciated.
