branchiocardiac groove
See: carapace groove (b) [Martin, 2005].
See: carapace grooves (b) [McLaughlin, 1980].
Groove separating branchial and cardiac regions [Williams, 1984].
Line along dorsal limit of branchiostegite. (Syn. branchiocardiac ridge) [Poore, 2004].
(Order Decapoda):
On each side of carapace, oblique groove separating branchial and cardiac regions. Considered to represent former transverse border between two cephalic somites.
