Abstract
The stomach musculature of several species of decapod Crustacea is described in detail. All species are sufficiently similar so that muscle homologies can be established. The Natantia have a simplified muscle system while the Reptantia are characterized by a more complex muscle system. Species can be arranged in a graded series of muscle system complexity which closely follows the evolution of the decapod Crustacea. The information presented here should provide the basis for consistent identification of the stomatogastric motor neurons throughout the decapod Crustacea.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
