Preoral cavity formed under labrum is termed atrium oris. Anterior end of labrum may be associated with "eyes." (narrowly or broadly rounded anteriorly and posteriorly, somewhat pointed anteriorly and posteriorly; oval, obovate).

Unpaired, lobe-like structure anterior to mouth; adjoins bases of antennules and antennae. (See also labium).

The upper lip; a posteroventrally-directed, muscular, median lobe forming the anterior wall of the oral cone.

Unpaired, lip-like structure in front of mouth. May cover basal part (gnathobase) of mandible or be drawn out, along with lower lip (labium), into cone-like structure (mouth cone).

Large, bulbous, unpaired lobe covering mouth. Contains large gland and labral ganglion and extends over gnathobases of mandibles. (distal = posterior end: gradually expanded, abruptly expanded).
