1 As the antennules in the Eurypterida are, theoretically, considered to be aborted, the headshield would be really composed of the 7 cephalic and the 1st thoracic somites; but the Roman numerals only indicate the number of somites coalesced in the head-shield which are actually represented by paired appendages, reckoning the optic segment as the first, and the thoracic plate or operculum as the seventh.
