   Entomostraca is a subclass of crustaceans, a large group of arthropods, which includes many familiar animals such as crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. Entomostraca is generally characterized by having a segmented body, a chitinous exoskeleton which is often multilayered and variously calcified, paired and jointed appendages, and two pairs of antennae. This subclass includes a diverse range of aquatic creatures such as water fleas, copepods, and fairy shrimps.

1. Entomostraca

   Entomostraca is a historical subclass of Crustacea, no longer in technical use. It was originally considered one of the two major lineages of crustaceans, combining all other classes – Branchiopoda, Cephalocarida, Ostracoda and Maxillopoda. The Ostracoda have the body enclosed in a bivalve shell-covering, and are normally unsegmented. The Branchiopoda have a very variable number of body-segments, with or without a shield, simple or bivalved, and some of the post-oral appendages normally branchial. The Copepoda normally have a segmented body, not enclosed in a bivalved shell-covering, fewer than twelve segments, the limbs not branchial. Under the heading Crustacea, the Entomostraca have already been distinguished not only from the barnacles, but also from the Malacostraca.
