Flagellomere

• (Taxon-specific: Subclass Copepoda) A segment of a flagellum which is part of the ramus of antenna 1 or antenna 2 of many crustaceans. Flagellomeres are not moved by muscles and are formed distad to the first flagellomere, which is the source segment for the flagellomeres. Copepods do not have a flagellum on either antenna 1 or antenna 2. [Ferrari and Dahms, in press]
