schizopoda
Schizopoda is an obsolete order of malacostracan crustaceans. The former members are now spread amongst two orders, the Mysida (opossum shrimps) and the Euphausiacea (krill). These are small, shrimp-like marine invertebrates that share certain morphological traits such as a special type of limb structure. The Schizopoda label is occasionally still used in a descriptive or informal context, despite not being a valid taxonomic group anymore.
Webster Dictionary
Schizopoda
a division of shrimplike Thoracostraca in which each of the thoracic legs has a long fringed upper branch (exopodite) for swimming
