FAN SETA

A specialized seta on the distal tip of the maxilliped's endite. It is made thin, hyaline cuticle (difficult to see) and is usually broad with many laterally pointed lobes. In the munnopsids, it appears at two distinct types: a medial, more heavily sclerotized seta with fewer lobes, generally found on the distomedial corner of the maxillipedal endite; and a thin lamellar form placed in a row just proximal to the distal edge of the endite [Wilson, 1989].
