Branchial lobule. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
One of several respiratory projections that may be associated with each thoracic appendage (thoracopod). According to position one may distinguish arthrobranchs, pleurobranchs, or podobranchs; according to structure, dendrobranchs, phyllobranchs, or trichobranchs. Typically contained in branchial chamber on each side of cephalothorax.

Branchia. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
In certain mysidaceans, one in a series of branched respiratory structures arising dorsally from base of thoracopod. (See also epipod). [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Respiratory projections on appendages (pleopods) of first five abdominal appendages (pleomeres); located on exopod. Epipods of third through fifth thoracopods also with respiratoty function.
(syn. branchia) [Stachowitsch, 1992]
In certain ostracods, term occasionally applied to lamellar respiratory process located dorsally on trunk.
(syn. branchia) [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Respiratory structure associated with second through eighth thoracopods. Projects from basal segment (coxa) of appendages, thus representing an epipod and often being termed podobranch. Not covered by carapace. Gill forms greater part of reduced eighth (and occasionally seventh) thoracopods.
