Definition of endite in English: enditenoun ˈɛndʌɪt Zoology An inwardly directed lobe on a limb segment of an arthropod, especially on the protopodite of a crustacean limb. Example sentencesExamples - Some endites of the endopod expose one spine, some have two and a few others three or even more.
- Since the setae occur in a cluster they appear to come from a single endite, which indicates that the appendage is probably a second rather than a first antenna.
- We do not know if an endopod segment carries a single endite or more.
- In some crustacean groups appendages have large, flattened exopods, endopods, epipodites, and endites.
Origin Late 19th century: from endo- 'within' + -ite1. |
