Corophiidea
Corophiida is an infraorder of amphipods that contains the two parvorders Caprellidira (skeleton shrimp and whale lice) and Corophiidira. In 2003-2013 this group was treated as a suborder, Corophiidea, which in turn had been re-established to contain the taxa previously treated as the suborder Caprellidea, together with some families formerly placed in the suborder Gammaridea.

Caprellidira
Caprellidira is a parvorder of marine crustaceans of the infraorder Corophiida. The group includes skeleton shrimps (Caprellidae) and whale lice (Cyamidae). Fifteen families are currently recognised in the group. They are grouped into seven superfamilies. *Superfamily Aetiopedesoidea Myers & Lowry, 2003 ** Aetiopedesidae Myers & Lowry, 2003 ** Paragammaropsidae Myers & Lowry, 2003 *Superfamily Caprelloidea Leach, 1814 **Caprellidae Leach, 1814 - Skeleton shrimps ** Caprogammaridae Kudrjaschov & Vassilenko, 1966 **Cyamidae Rafinesque, 1815 - Whale lice ** Dulichiidae Laubitz, 1983 ** Podoceridae Leach, 1814 *Superfamily Isaeoidea Dana, 1853 ** Isaeidae Dana, 1853 *Superfamily Microprotopoidea Myers & Lowry, 2003 **Microprotopidae Myers & Lowry, 2003 *Superfamily Neomegamphopoidea Myers, 1981 **Neomegamphopidae Myers, 1981 **Priscomilitariidae Hirayama, 1988 *Superfamily Photoidea Boeck, 1871 **Ischyroceridae Stebbing, 1899 **Kamakidae Myers & Lowry, 2003 **Photidae Boeck, 1 ...

Corophiidira
Corophiidira is a parvorder of marine amphipod crustaceans in the infraorder Corophiida. In a previous classification, this taxon was treated as an infraorder and was then itself called Corophiida. Families The group contains six families classified into four superfamilies. *Superfamily Aoroidea Stebbing, 1899 **Aoridae Stebbing, 1899 **Unciolidae Myers & Lowry, 2003 *Superfamily Cheluroidea Allman, 1847 **Cheluridae Allman, 1847 *Superfamily Chevalioidea Myers & Lowry, 2003 ** Chevaliidae Myers & Lowry, 2003 *Superfamily Corophioidea Leach, 1814 **Ampithoidae Boeck, 1871 **Corophiidae Corophiidae is a family of amphipods Amphipoda is an order of malacostracan crustaceans with no carapace and generally with laterally compressed bodies.

Gammaridea
Gammaridea is one of the suborders of the order Amphipoda, comprising small, shrimp-like crustaceans. Until recently, in a traditional classification, it encompassed about 7,275 (92%) of the 7,900 species of amphipods described by then, in approximately 1,000 genera, divided among around 125 families. That concept of Gammaridea included almost all freshwater amphipods, while most of the members still were marine. The group is however considered paraphyletic, and is under deconstruction by the amphipod taxonomists J. Lowry and A. Myers. In 2003 they moved several families from Gammaridea to join members of the former Caprellidea in a new suborder Corophiidea.A. A. Myers & J. K. Lowry (2003). "A phylogeny and a new classification of the Corophiidea Leach, 1814 (Amphipoda)". Journal of Crustacean Biology 23 (2): 443–485. doi:10.1651/0278-0372 Further, in 2013 another large suborder Senticaudata was established, which now encompasses much of the original Gammaridea, particul ...

Skeleton Shrimp
Caprellidae is a family of amphipods commonly known as skeleton shrimps. Their common name denotes the threadlike slender body which allows them to virtually disappear among the fine filaments of seaweed, hydroids and bryozoans. They are sometimes also known as ghost shrimps. Description Caprellids are easily recognizable from other amphipods because of their slender elongated bodies. Their bodies can be divided into three parts: the cephalon (head), the pereon (thorax), and the abdomen. The pereon comprises most of the length of the body. It is divided into seven segments known as pereonites. The cephalon is usually fused to the first pereonite; while the highly reduced and almost invisible abdomen is attached to the posterior of the seventh pereonite. They possess two pairs of antennae, with the first pair usually longer than the second pair. The cephalon contains mandibles, maxillae, and maxillipeds which function as mouthparts. Each pereonite has a pair of appendages know ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caprellidea
Caprelloidea is a superfamily of marine crustaceans in the order Amphipoda. It includes "untypical" forms of amphipods, such as the skeleton shrimps (Caprellidae) and whale lice (Cyamidae). The group was formerly treated as one of the four amphipod suborders, Caprellidea, but has been moved down to the superfamily rank by Myers & Lowry (2003, 2013) after phylogenetic studies of the group, and is now contained in the infraorder Corophiida of the suborder Senticaudata.Lowry, J.K. & Myers, A.A. (2013A Phylogeny and Classification of the Senticaudata subord. nov. (Crustacea: Amphipoda) Zootaxa 3610 (1): 1-80.Senticaudata The group includes the following families. * |
Pariambus Typicus
''Pariambus typicus'' is a species of amphipod crustacean. It is found in the Atlantic Ocean from northern Norway south to the Cape Verde Islands and into the Mediterranean Sea as far east as Italy. It is absent from the Baltic Sea, suggesting that it requires water of high salinity. Adults grow to a length of , and are commonly found in association with starfish and sea urchins, and more rarely with brittle stars. The species is sometimes included in the family Pariambidae, but more usually in the Caprellidae Caprellidae is a family of amphipods commonly known as skeleton shrimps. Their common name denotes the threadlike slender body which allows them to virtually disappear among the fine filaments of seaweed, hydroids and bryozoans. They are someti ....

Whale Louse
A whale louse is a commensal crustacean of the family Cyamidae. Despite the name, it is not a true louse (which are insects), but rather is related to the skeleton shrimp, most species of which are found in shallower waters. Whale lice are external parasites, found in skin lesions, genital folds, nostrils and eyes of marine mammals of the order Cetacea. These include not only whales but also dolphins and porpoises. Appearance The body of a whale louse is distinctly flat and considerably reduced at the rear. Its legs, especially the back three pairs of legs, have developed into claw-like protuberances with which it clings to its host. Its length ranges from depending on the species. Life cycle Most species of whale louse are associated with a single species of whale. They remain with their host throughout their development and do not experience a free-swimming phase. Although the relationship between a specific species of whale louse and a specific species of whale is more pro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Senticaudata
Senticaudata is one of the four suborders of the crustacean order Amphipoda (aka scuds, sideswimmers). It includes some 5000 species, which is more than 50% or the currently recognized amphipod diversity.Introduction World Amphipoda Database (read 23 March 2014) Senticaudata was split off from the traditional suborder by Lowry & Myers in 2013, as a part of a process of reorganising the higher taxonomy of amphipods. It now also encompasses the previously recognized and |

World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as the ''World List o ...
