Nebalia bipes is a scav­enger and de­tri­ti­vore, con­sum­ing dead and dying ma­rine crea­tures found on the seafloor. It eats using its three mouth­parts, the paired uni­ra­mous mandibles, uni­ra­mous first max­il­lae, and bi­ra­mous sec­ond max­il­lae.

Nebalia bipes occurs in vegetated areas of the northeastern coast and in Europe. Nebalia pugettensis is common on the west coast of North America in algae and mud near the low tide line. Nebalia is also found in the Florida Keys. The differences between the species are minor and any can be used for this study. Living or preserved specimens can ...

Nebalia bipes is a species of leptostracan crustacean, and the first species in the order to have been described (in 1780, under the name Cancer bipes). [2] It lives in coastal waters at depths of 5–60 m (20–200 ft), [3] under stones or among decaying organic matter where it is common and sometimes abundant. [4]

Leptostraca (from the Greek words for thin and shell) [3] is an order of small, marine crustaceans. Its members, including the well-studied Nebalia, occur throughout the world's oceans and are usually considered to be filter-feeders. [4] It is the only extant order in the subclass Phyllocarida.

Nebalia is a large genus of small crustaceans containing more than half of the species in the order Leptostraca, [1] and was first described by William Elford Leach in 1814. [2]

The Nebalia compound eyes are scotopic apposition eyes that provide a roundabout view. Each ommatidium is equipped with a large, layered retinula, a flat cornea, a eucone crystalline cone made of four cone cells, and eight retinula cells arranged in three cell pairs that exhibit mirror symmetry (R1/ …

Only two species of Nebalia have been reported from the tropical or subtropical seas of Asia. Therefore, the new species is the first species of Nebalia found in the temperate zone of Asia.

The bilobed carapace is large and covers the thorax and part of the abdomen and bears anteriorly a distinct, hinged rostral plate, which is laminar and without a terminal spine and covers the head. The eyes are well developed, red in living animals. The first antennae in both males and females are shorter in length than the second antennae.
