The Peracaridan features, uniting it especially with the Mysidacea, are the structure of the elongated heart, the filiform spermatozoa, and the fact that no complicated metamorphosis is passed through, the young hatching out in a condition similar to, though possibly not identical with, the adult form. The Eucaridan, especially Decapodan, features are the presence of an auditory sac on the basal joint of the antennules, ^ This characteristic is found in the Crustacea elsewhere only in the Argulidae and certain Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harmer, S.
