Note 48 — Class—CRUSTACEA. Sub-Class—CIRRIPEDIA. (continued 4)

It deserves notice, that in the class Crustacea, both in the Lerneidæ and in the Cirripedia, the males more closely resemble the larvæ, than do the females; whereas amongst insects, as in the case of the glow-worm in Coleoptera, and of certain nocturnal Lepidoptera, it is the female which retains an embryonic character, being worm-like or caterpillar-like, without wings. But in all these cases, the male is more locomotive than the female.
