Anomopoda is an order of the superorder Diplostraca. These crustaceans, a type of water flea, are members of the class Branchiopoda.[1] The Anomopoda typically have five pairs of thoracic limbs, but sometimes have six pairs.[2] The head of the Anomopoda lacks a clear separation from the trunk and the posterior, while the abdomen area gradually merges with the anterior of the trunk.[3]
