1878 T. H. Huxley in Proc. Zool. Soc. 758 I shall therefore term these gills podobranchæ. A fold of the integument rises over the outer face of the basal portion of the branchia, which is freely movable, inwards and outwards, upon its articulation.

1893 T. R. R. Stebbing Hist. Crustacea xiv. 202 Eunephrops..is very near to Nephrops, except that, like the American lobster, it has a well-developed podobranchia to the second maxillipeds.

1930 H. G. Newth Marshall & Hurst's Junior Course Pract. Zool. (ed. 11) ix. 155 Podobranchiæ are gills attached to the coxopodites of appendages VII. to XII.

1960 D. C. Braungart & R. Buddeke Introd. Animal Biol. (ed. 5) xi. 156 The gills are divided into two groups: a single row of gills, which arise from the basal segments of certain appendages and are, therefore, called podobranchiae, and a double row, which arise from the membranes joining these appendages to the body, and are, therefore, called arthrobranchiae.

1988 Jrnl. Crustacean Biol. 8 355 Most of the respiratory exchange area is provided by the podobranchiae.
