Basic features of anomopod ephippia in the Cladocera (examples of two extant species of Daphnia) in comparison to the Jurassic fossil Kuqaia scanicus (unknown taxonomy). The hypothesis that Kuqaia fossils could be cladocerans, is rejected in this study. A. Daphnia (Ctenodaphnia) magna ephippial female, habitus in lateral view and the outline of the ephippium (grey) with two diapausing embryos (black). B. Daphnia (Ctenodaphnia) magna, ephippium in lateral view (some typical dorsal spinules are shown and appendages, which may be torn off or broken). C. Daphnia (Ctenodaphnia) magna, detail of the lateral surface of the ephippium. D. Daphnia (Daphnia) pulex species complex, ephippium in lateral view. E. Kuqaia scanicus fossil, oriented as interpreted in the text of Peng et al. (2023), with “posterior” appendages. D. Kuqaia scanicus fossil, reconstruction after Peng et al. (2023) shown at the same scale as the cladoceran ephippia (A–B and D) and oriented as in E. Images redrawn from Mergeay et al. (2005) (A,D) and Peng et al. (2023) (F); the other drawings are based on SEM photos in Kotov et al. (2019) (B,C) and Peng et al. (2023) (E).	FIGURE 1.
