Anomopoda

Daphnia magna, from Biopix.

Belongs within: Diplostraca.
Contains: Chydoridae.

The Anomopoda is the largest generally-recognised subgroup within the waterfleas (Cladocera). It contains the most speciose genus of waterfleas, Daphnia. Members of the family Daphniidae have the setae on the gnathobase of the second trunk limb and its neighbouring endite plumose and forming a filtering fan (Santos-Flores & Dodson 2003).

Characters (from Santos-Flores & Dodson 2003): Trunk limb 1 with five pseudosegments: endites 1-3 largely merged with corm, endite 4 and exopodite well differentiated; two ejector hooks present at base of corm (absent in Neothrix). Trunk limb 3 composed of single lobed exopodite, provided with 6 plumose setae, and more complex endopodite, resulting from a degree of fusion of corm with a series of endites.
