-poda.] (Zo["o]l.)
An order of Entomostraca including a large number of species,
most of which live in fresh water. They have flattened or

({Holostraca}); in others, as Apus, by a shield-shaped
carapace ({Monostraca}); in others, like Artemia, there
is no carapace, and the body is regularly segmented.
Sometimes the group is made to include also the
Cladocera.
