Abstract
The complexity of the fifth limb of myodocopine Ostracoda has led to many i nterpretations of its homologies. The presence of muscles interpreted to ma rk the axis of the endopod of Isocypridina quatuorsetae supports the interp retations by H. J. Hansen and by G. Boxshall contending that the fifth limb of the Cypridinidae bears an unsegmented exopod.
