Compare epipodite. Like the endopodite, the exopo- 
dite is very variously modified in different regions of the 
body of the same animal. Thus, in the tail-flu, as of the

somites it may be very small, or entirely suppressed, 
especially when the endopodite is highly developed as an 
ambulatory leg. (See cut under endopodite.) In maxil- 
lipedary segments it forms a variously modified appendage 
long and many-jointed endopodite (antenna or feeler).
