Description:

In this photo the dendrobranchiate (tree-like in structure) gills can be seen hanging from below the carapace. In this species the gills are podobranchs, which is an epipod gill attached to the coxa (basal segment) of the legs. These podobranch gills are arising, left to right, from the third maxilliped and from pereopods 1-3. Photo of a preserved specimen
