  16. Fourth pair of head appendages, functioning as mouthparts, immediately posterior to mandibles (= first maxillae).

  17. Fourth paired appendage of head (cephalon); located between mandibles and maxillae. Represents second pair of mouthparts and typically consists of base with two differently developed endites.

  18. Fourth paired appendage of head; located between mandibles and maxillae. Represents second pair of mouthparts. Consists of base bearing one or occasionally two endites, rarely also with endopod palp.

  19. Second paired mouthpart on underside of head (cephalon); borne on fourth cephalic somite and located between mandibles and maxillae. Consists of two segments (coxa and basis, each with endite) and small endopod (palp).

  20. Fourth paired appendage of head (cephalon); located between mandibles and maxillae. Represents second pair of mouthparts and, if fully developed, consists of proximal section with two endites as well as distal palp.

  21. Second paired mouthpart on underside of head (between mandibles and maxillae). Typically developed as prominent pair of suction discs, yet also as uniramous appendage with distal claws.

  22. Balanus trigonus: oral cone, posterior view; and oral cone, lefft lateral view.

  23. Second paired mouth-part on head; located between mandibles and maxillae. Consists largely of gnathobase. (with/without notch).

  24. The fourth cephalic appendage.

  25. Fourth paired appendage of cephalon; located between mandibles and maxillae. Uniramous, consisting of elongate protopod (with endites) and four-segmented shaft. Serves in locomotion and feeding.

  26. Fourth paired appendage of head; located posterior to mouth. Consists basically of proximal protopod with endites (masticatory processes) and variously developed distal branches (endopod, exopod). Serves, along with madibles, as masticatory appendage or is modified for locomotion.

  27. Second paired mouthpart on underside of head; located between mandibles and maxillae. If fully developed, consists of proximal protopod with endites and exites as well as distal biramous palp with inner branch (endopod) and outer branch (exopod). The term first maxilla is often preferentially applied. (biramous, uniramous; setose, spinose, subchelate; prehensile).
