epimeral fold: Steep fold of endopleurites connected with branchiostegite to form branchial chamber in some decapods [McLaughlin, 1980].

Steep fold of endopleurites in some decapods connected with branchiostegite to form branchial chamber [Moore and McCormick, 1969].

(Order Decapoda):

Steep fold of certain lateral elements (endopleurites) of exoskeleton. Lies parallel to and attaches to side walls (branchiostegites) of carapace, thus forming branchial chamber enclosing gills [Stachowitsch, 1992].
