The '''Podocopa''' are a subclass of [ostracod](/source/ostracod)s. Members of the subclass Podocopa can be differentiated from the other subclass of ostracods ([Myodocopa](/source/Myodocopa)) by the morphology of the second [antenna](/source/antenna_(biology)): the Podocopa have a relatively long endopod, whereas the Myodocopa have a relatively long exopod. The seventh limb of the Podocopa has a variety of forms or is absent, but is never an annulated worm-like limb (as seen in some Myodocopa).
