==Other animals== [[File:Mares vulva.jpg|thumb|A horse's labia vulvae]] The labia minora in non-primate [[Placentalia|placental]] [[mammal]]s (namely [[Euungulata]] and [[Carnivora]]) are a sole pair of small labia that protect the [[Urogenital sinus#Other animals|internal vestibule]] and are rather called the '''labia vulvae''' or simply ''labia''. In primates, they are called ''labia minora'' to differentiate them from the [[labia majora]], the latter of which are a feature only present in the Primates order.<ref>{{cite book|last=McEntee|first=Mark|publisher=Elsevier Science|year= 2012|title=Reproductive Pathology of Domestic Mammals|page=192|access-date=November 19, 2023|isbn=978-0-32313-804-8|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=j87wTz362roC&pg=PA192&dq=}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Andrews|first1=Anthony|last2=Boden|first2=Edward|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing|year = 2015|title=Black's Veterinary Dictionary|page=484|access-date=December 15, 2023|isbn=978-1-40814-955-3|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Aw1fBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA484&dq=}}</ref> When the labia vulvae are closed together, they form a pudendal cleft. The joining of the labia vulvae top and bottom are respectively referred to as the anterior and posterior commissures.
