Refers to antennal scale (scaphocerite) of antenna, scaphognathite of maxillula, flagelliform branch of maxillipeds, and variously developed outer branch of pereopods, pleo-pods, and uropods. (annulate, flagelliform, scale-like, spine-like).

Outer branch (ramus) of biramous appendage (e.g., pleopod).

Outer branch (ramus) of biramous appendage. Represents scale-like structure (antennal scale) of antenna and flagellum-shaped branch of maxilipeds, thoracopods, and pleopods. (annulate, elongate, flattened; natatory; reduced).
(syn. exopodite) [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Outer branch (ramus) of biramous appendage. Refers to two-segmented branch of antennae, one-segmented, gill-bearing branch of pleopods, and two-segmented branch of uropods, while it is considered to represent inner branch of last three thoracopods. (See also endopod).
(syn. exopodite) [Stachowitsch, 1992]
(Taxon-specific: Class Secernentea) Outer branch (ramus) of biramous appendage. (elongate and slender, flattened = lamellar = scale-like = plate-like).
(syn. exopodite) [Stachowitsch, 1992]
(Taxon-specific: Order Monhysterida) Setose outer branch (ramus) of thoracic appendage (thoracopod). Exopod of first two thoracopods may bear medially directed flabellum. (See also endopod). [Stachowitsch, 1992]

(syn. exopodite) [Stachowitsch, 1992]
(Taxon-specific: Family Cyatholaimidae) A dorsal extension of the proximodistal axis of a limb originating on the basis of the protopod and usually segmented. Segments of the exopod bear a dorsal seta and often a ventral seta, but usually there is only one of each kind of seta on a segment. [Ferrari and Dahms, in press]
