1831. Ostrapoda, Latreille, Cours d'Entomologie, p. 429. 



In 1829 Latreille, describing the second division of his 

 " branchiopodes lophyropes," says parenthetically, " nos 

 OSTKACODES ou 1'ordre des ostrapodes de M. Straus," a great 

 injustice to Straus, persisted in to the present day. For even 

 in 1825, Fam. Nat. du Kegne Animal, p 300, Latreille retained 

 the Cladocera among his Ostracoda, and originally they com- 

 prised Phyllopoda as well, whereas the Ostrapoda of Straus, 

 as Latreille in 1831 indirectly acknowledges, have no such 

 confusion, and the termination of the name is in uniformity 

 with that of the Branchiopoda and the Copepoda. Desmarest 

 frankly adopted Ostrapoda, Straus. Lucas, in his Manual, 

 1840, uses the form " Ostrapodes, Latreille." The rest of us 

 have been as sheep following their leader through a broken 

 hedge.
