Extract

The paragnaths are soft outgrowths of the crustacean exoskeleton lying close to the mandibles on the aboral side. They are sometimes termed the metastoma, for instance in Pike (1947) in Galathea squamifera Leach, or the hypopharynx by Wägele (1987) in the isopod Antarcturus Schultz. It should be noted however that Manton (1964) stated that the crustacean paragnath was not the same structure as the insect hypopharynx.
