Introduction
Multicrustacea include most of the more familiar crustaceans: copepods, various sorts of barnacles, krill, prawns, various lobsters and shrimps, crabs, amphipods, isopods and related brooding groups. Included in Multicrustacea are several less familiar taxa. Multicrustacea is best diagnosed as having a 5–7–(5) ground pattern, that is, four segments in the head, seven in the thorax, and about five in the abdomen.
