- (Taxon-specific: Order Cumacea) Photosensitive organ on dorsal surface of carapace; typically unpaired and positioned on ocular lobe (paired, unpaired). [Stachowitsch, 1992]
- (Taxon-specific: Order Tanaidacea) One of two photosensitive organs on carapace; positioned anterolaterally on short projections (ocular lobes). [Stachowitsch, 1992]
- (Taxon-specific: Order Decapoda) One of two organs of vision, each consisting of numerous ommatidia covered by cornea; typically positioned at tip of eyestalk. (sessile, stalked; club-shaped, reniform, spherical). [Stachowitsch, 1992]
- (Taxon-specific: Order Amphipoda) One of two unstalked (sessile) organs of vision on each side of head. (contiguous, convex = globular, immense, oval, reniform; blind, oculate).
(syn. compound eye) [Stachowitsch, 1992] - (Taxon-specific: Order Isopoda) Organ of vision on cephalon; when present, usually small and sessile, (sessile, stalked; pear-shaped, reniform, oval, contiguous).
(syn. compound eye) [Stachowitsch, 1992] - (Taxon-specific: Order Mysida) One of two organs of vision, each located distally on ocular peduncle. (divided, undivided, fused; plate-like, pyriform).
(syn. compound eye) [Stachowitsch, 1992] - (Taxon-specific: Order Stomatopoda) Large, paired organ of vision on head (cephalon); each eye is positioned on eyestalk (ocular peduncle) originating on acron. (See also cornea, nauplius eye).
(syn. compound eye) [Stachowitsch, 1992] - (Taxon-specific: Order Leptostraca) One of two organs of vision located at tip of eyestalk (ocular peduncle).
(syn. compound eye) [Stachowitsch, 1992] - (Taxon-specific: Subclass Branchiura) Compund eye, nauplius eye. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
- (Taxon-specific: Subclass Cirripedia) Compound eye, nauplius eye. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
- (Taxon-specific: Superorder Syncarida) If present (anaspidacean), one of two organs of vision. (sessile, stalked; anteriorly/laterally directed). [Stachowitsch, 1992]
