Currently a subclass of 'postcranial axial skeleton'; should change that to part of. Also the label should be singular.
I'm not sure what the parent should be. Here's the def:
Rods that support the intromittent organ of male Ascaphus.

The term came from AAO.

A google for "Nobleian" rods returns only hits for Rod Stewart...

I think this should be relabeled "Nobelian rod" (like the prize, I think someone was inappropriately anglicizing)

See:
http://books.google.com/books?id=CzxVvKmrtIgC&pg=PA77&lpg=PA77&dq=Ascaphus+intromittent&source=bl&ots=AXM2icqsi_&sig=Ha9L3ox1LXgpB8QZ3NfjYhgEBqY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=CBslUZ-AL-ftiQKZioBw&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Ascaphus%20intromittent&f=false

whilst we have that page open shall we get our amphibian intromittent organs looking presentable?

proposed def for:

id: UBERON:3010259
name: phallodeum

eversible phalloid portion of the cloaca that is inserted in the female's vent during copulation. Found in male Caecillians.

(lots of other info there about musculature, vasculature etc, should we need to return to it)

proposed def for

id: UBERON:3010260
name: intromittent organ (Ascaphus type)

A tail like posterior extension of the cloaca supported by a pair of Nobelian rods

Note that whilst the organ has part 2 Nobelian rods, I don't think the converse is true

Nobelian rod
part_of
UBERON:3010260 ! intromittent organ (Ascaphus type)

as the rods are present in females according to the text

Note there is also:
"Nobelian bone"
Paired cartilaginous rods that lie within the copulatory organ (or so-called tail) and are attached to the posteroventral part of the pelvic girdle.
SubClassOf: cartilage element

(note the conflict between the name and the definition/superclass)

I think these may be the same thing.
