Atyidae is a family of shrimp, present in all tropical and most temperate waters of the world. Adults of this family are almost always confined to fresh water. This is the only family in the superfamily Atyoidea. Genera and species The following classification follows De Grave ''et al.''

Caridea
The Caridea, commonly known as caridean shrimp or true shrimp, are an infraorder of shrimp within the order Decapoda. This infraorder contains all species of true shrimp. They are found widely around the world in both fresh and salt water. Many other animals with similar names – such as the mud shrimp of Axiidea and the boxer shrimp of Stenopodidea – are not true shrimp, but many have evolved features similar to true shrimp. Biology Carideans are found in every kind of aquatic habitat, with the majority of species being marine. Around a quarter of the described species are found in fresh water, however, including almost all the members of the species-rich family Atyidae and the Palaemonidae subfamily Palaemoninae. They include several commercially important species, such as ''Macrobrachium rosenbergii'', and are found on every continent except Antarctica. The marine species are found at depths to , and from the tropics to the polar regions. In addition to the great variety ...

Caridina
''Caridina'' is a genus of freshwater atyid shrimp. They are widely found in tropical or subtropical water in Asia, Oceania and Africa. They are filter-feeders and omnivorous scavengers. They range from 0.9–9.8 mm ('' C. cantonensis'') to 1.2–7.4 mm ('' C. serrata'') in carapace length. Taxonomy and species There is evidence for hybridization between sympatric taxa, requiring care when interpreting molecular phylogenetic analyses that do not use a large number of specimens. The genus ''Caridina'' includes the following species: *'' Caridina ablepsia'' Guo, Jiang & Zhang, 1992 *'' Caridina acuta'' Liang, Chen & W.-X. Li, 2005 *'' Caridina acutirostris'' Schenkel, 1902 *'' Caridina africana'' Kingsley, 1883 *'' Caridina alba'' J. Li & S.

Caridina Multidentata
''Caridina multidentata'' is a species of shrimp in the family Atyidae. It is native to Japan and Taiwan.De Grave, S., Shy, J. & Cai, X. 2013''Caridina multidentata''.The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2013. Downloaded on 14 June 2016. Its common names include Yamato shrimp, Japanese shrimp, Amano shrimp, and algae shrimp. Description This species has a translucent body covered with a broken line of reddish brown points on its sides. The dorsal surface has a white stripe that runs from the head to the tail and the eyes are black. Females are easily distinguished from males by their more elongated lower row of dots. ''Caridina multidentata'' fare best in temperatures of 18 °C to 28 °C. They are more active at higher temperatures, but may also have a shorter lifespan. They prefer a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. As with all crustaceans, they are extremely averse to copper due to their haemocyanin blood. ''Caridina multidentata'' mate in freshwater streams and marshes. Female ...

Atyopsis
''Atyopsis'' is a genus of freshwater shrimp from Southeast Asia. It was erected in 1983 by Fenner A. Chace, Jr. for two species formerly treated in the genus ''Atya''. It differs from ''Atya'' by various characters, including the form of the telson (which is longest at the corners in ''Atyopsis'', but not in ''Atya'') and the presence of a "massive spur" on the male third pereiopod. The genus comprises two species, '' Atyopsis spinipes'' and ''Atyopsis moluccensis''. No fossil representatives are known. They are found on high islands from Sri Lanka to the Samoan Islands, and as far north as Okinawa, as well as on the Asian mainland from the Malay Peninsula to India. The two species differ in the number of teeth on the underside of the rostrum Rostrum may refer to: * Any kind of a platform for a speaker: **dais **pulpit * Rostrum (anatomy), a beak, or anatomical structure resembling a beak, as in the mouthparts of many sucking insects * Rostrum (ship), a form of bow on naval s ...

Elephantis (genus)
Elephantis ( grc, Ἐλεφαντίς) (fl. late 1st century BC) was a Greek poet and physician apparently renowned in the classical world as the author of a notorious sex manual. Due to the popularity of courtesans taking animal names in classical times, it is likely Elephantis is two or more persons of the same name. None of her works have survived, though they are referenced in other ancient texts. Works According to Suetonius in The Twelve Caesars, the Roman Emperor Tiberius took a complete set of her works with him when he retreated to his resort on Capri. One of the poems in the ''Priapeia'' refers to her books: :''Obscenas rigido deo tabellasdicans ex Elephantidos libellisdat donum Lalage rogatque, temptes,si pictas opus edat ad figuras.'' ("Lalage dedicates a votive offering to the God of the erect penis, bringing shameless pictures from the books of Elephantis, and begs him to try and imitate with her the variety of intercourse of the figures in the illustrations.")Tr ...
