Remarks on ontogeny The appearance of limbs through ontogeny of Terrestricythere elisabethae sp. nov. is generally similar to that of other podocopid superfamilies, such as the Cypridoidea , Cytheroidea and Bairdioidea ( Fig. 20 ). The first instar (A-8) of the Cypridoidea , Cytheroidea and Terrestricytheroidea consists of the antennulae, antennae and the Anlagen of the mandibles ( Fig. 21 )
