Malacostraca, that is to say, are derived by inheritance from the same source with them.    From Wordnik.com.  [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference

A scarcely less minute account follows of the 'Malacostraca' or crustaceans, the lobsters and the crabs, the shrimps and the prawns, and others of their kind, a chapter to which Cuvier devoted a celebrated essay.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Legacy of Greece Essays By: Gilbert Murray, W.

The dominant groups of crustaceans are the Ostrachoda, Conchostraca and the Malacostraca.    From Wordnik.com.  [Central Amazonian Conservation Complex, Brazil] Reference

With regard to the Malacostraca or crustaceans, one species is that of the crawfish, and a second, resembling the first, is that of the lobster; the lobster differing from the crawfish in having claws, and in a few other respects as well.    From Wordnik.com.  [The History of Animals] Reference

For the Insecta alone, the development of the Malacostraca may perhaps present a point of union.    From Wordnik.com.  [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference

Crustacea, like the Insects, are entirely destitute of the region of the body corresponding to the middle-body of the Malacostraca.    From Wordnik.com.  [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference

This is a circumstance which renders very doubtful the equivalence of the middle-body of the Malacostraca with the section of the body which in the Copepoda bears the swimming feet and in the Cirripedia the cirri.    From Wordnik.com.  [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference

The original development of the Malacostraca starting from the Nauplius, or the lowest free-living grade with which we are acquainted in the class of Crustacea, is now-a-days nearly effaced in the majority of them.    From Wordnik.com.  [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference

To review the developmental history of the different Malacostraca in detail would furnish no results at all correspondent to the time occupied by it, -- if our knowledge was more complete it would be more profitable.    From Wordnik.com.  [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference

To these isolated difficulties I ascribe the less importance, however, because even a little while ago, before the discovery of the Prawn-Nauplius, this entire domain of the development of the Malacostraca was almost inaccessible to Darwin's theory.    From Wordnik.com.  [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference

A closer examination of the developmental history of the lower Crustacea is unnecessary after what has been said in general upon the historical significance of the young states, and the application of this which has just been made to the Malacostraca.    From Wordnik.com.  [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference

Prawn that we traced from the Nauplius through states analogous to Zoea and Mysis to the form of a Macrurous Crustacean appears at present to be the animal, which in the section of the higher Crustacea (Malacostraca) furnishes the truest and most complete indications of its primitive history.    From Wordnik.com.  [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference

A similar development must have been once passed through by the primitive ancestor of all Malacostraca, probably differing from that of our Prawn, especially in the circumstance that it would go on more uniformly without the sudden change of form and mode of locomotion produced in the latter by the simultaneous sprouting forth and entering into action in the Nauplius of four and in the Zoea of five pairs of limbs.    From Wordnik.com.  [Facts and Arguments for Darwin] Reference
