trunk lacks clear segmentation (arthrodization). Along the body are pairs of biramous (divided into two parts) appendages, the counts of which differ between species (Isoxys curvirostratus has 14, while Isoxys auritus has 11). In Isoxys curvirostratus the endopods (the inner, leg-like parts of the biramous limbs/appendages) have well defined segments/podomeres. The first four biramous limb pairs of Isoxys curvirostratus were shorter than the remaining pairs, with their endopods
