Original Description
Zygartida with triple (or multiple) cortical shell and double medullary shell, without polar tubes.
The genus Zygocampe differs from Desmocampe and Ommatocampe by the multiplication of the cortical shell, which is composed of three or more concentric envelopes. The three mentioned genera form therefore a phylogenetic series, produced by the concentric increase on the outside of the jointed cortical shell. Commonly the second cortical shell is not as complete as the first (or innermost), and the third (or outermost) is yet more incomplete. Rarely the number of the concentric cortical shells surpasses three.
Etymology: Greek zygocampe = caterpillar with paired joints"
