INCISUR

Terminal process of mandible, cutting blade, often toothed (more properly, incisor process). (Syn. incisor process) [Poore, 2004].
(Class Ostracoda):
An anterior indentation (ranging from slight to deep and even slit- like) of the valves of the carapace; it acts like an oar-lock for the rowing antennae of many swimming Myodocopa. (Syn. incisure, rostral incisur) [Cohen, Peterson, and Maddocks, in press].
