A new phyllopod bed-like assemblage from the Burgess Shale of the Canadian Rockies.

A genus of freshÐwater phyllopod crustaceans.

Phyllopod, fil′ō-pod, adj. having foliaceous feet—also Phyllop′odous.—n. a crustacean of the order Phyllopoda.—adj.

In a Phyllopod such as Apus the limbs of the trunk consist of a flattened, unsegmented or obscurely segmented axis or corm having a series of lobes or processes known as endites and exites on its inner and outer margins respectively.

The two distal endites are regarded as corresponding to the endopodite and exopodite of the higher Crustacea, the axis or corm of the Phyllopod limb representing the protopodite.
