The Eumalacostraca consists of all Malacostracan groups other than the Phyllocarida.
Eumalacostraca is the group that contains most of the animals the general public recognize as crustaceans, such as shrimp, crabs, lobsters.
As in branchiopods and cephalocaridans, primitive malacostracans feed by filtering food from water; currents that move water for feeding are generated by thoracic appendages.
