Bodotriinae |
Bodotriidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order cumacea.
[edit] Anatomy
In both sexes the telson is fused with the last segment of the pleon, forming a pleotelson. Males generally have five pairs of pleopods, though less often, there may be three, two or they may be entirely absent. In females the second antenna is substantially shorter than the first. The third maxillipeds always have exopods (outer branches), and there are endopods (inner branches) on one or two segments of the uropods.
