  1. Repugnant; serving as a means of defense by repelling enemies: specific in the phrase.
  2. Repugnatorial pores the openings of the ducts of certain glands which secrete prussic acid in most diplopod myriapods. The secretion poured out when the creature is alarmed has a strong odor, which may be perceived at a distance of several feet. The absence or presence of these pores, and their number or disposition when present, afford zoölogical characters in the classification of the chilognaths.
