Lanugo is the fine, soft, unmedullated and unpigmented hair that covers the foetus from about the fifth month. It is mostly shed in the last months of pregnancy, from about the seventh month, so the paper's 'after six months of gestation' describes it, and its presence helps estimate foetal age.
Vellus hair (printed 'Verlus') is the fine body hair of children and adults, terminal hair is the coarse, pigmented hair of the scalp and body, and pili annulati is a ringed hair condition, not a hair type.
