Acrobelione Halimedae
''Acrobelione halimedae'' is an isopoda parasite present in the waters off Singapore. First described in 2017, by Boyko, Williams & Shields. Description Acrobelione halimedae is isopoda ectoparasite that infects the branchial chamber The branchial chamber in Decapoda, decapods and some other crustaceans is the area of the body containing the branchiae, or gills. In shrimp-like decapods, water enters the chamber from the edges of the carapace. In crab-like decapods, it enters fr ... of the mud shrimp Austinogebia spinfrons of the coast of Singapore. The females measure up to 8.0 mm long, with a maximal width of 6.4 mm, head width 1.9 mm, and head length 1.5 mm. Currently there is no description of the male of the species.

Bopyridae
The Bopyridae are a family of isopod crustaceans in the suborder Cymothoida. There are 1223 individual species contained in this family. Members of the family are ectoparasites of crab Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura (meaning "short tailed" in Greek language, Greek), which typically have a very short projecting tail-like abdomen#Arthropoda, abdomen, usually hidden entirely under the Thorax (arthropo ...s and shrimp. They live in the gill cavities or under the carapace where they cause a noticeable swelling. Fossil crustaceans have occasionally been observed to have a similar characteristic bulge.

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Isopoda
Isopoda is an order of crustaceans. Members of this group are called isopods and include both aquatic species and terrestrial species such as woodlice. All have rigid, segmented exoskeletons, two pairs of antennae, seven pairs of jointed limbs on the thorax, and five pairs of branching appendages on the abdomen that are used in respiration. Females brood their young in a pouch under their thorax called the marsupium. Isopods have various feeding methods: some eat dead or decaying plant and animal matter, others are grazers or filter feeders, a few are predators, and some are internal or external parasites, mostly of fish. Aquatic species mostly live on the seabed or the bottom of freshwater bodies of water, but some taxa can swim for short distance. Terrestrial forms move around by crawling and tend to be found in cool, moist places. Some species are able to roll themselves into a ball as a defense mechanism or to conserve moisture like species in the family Armadilli ...

Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...

Cymothoida
Cymothoida is a suborder of Isopoda, isopod crustaceans with a mostly Carnivore, carnivorous or Parasite, parasitic lifestyle. It contains more than 2,700 described species in four Taxonomic rank#Ranks in zoology, superfamilies. Members of the suborder are characterised by their specialised mouthparts which include a mandible with a tooth-like process which is adapted for cutting or slicing. Classification Cymothoida contains these superfamilies and families: *Superfamily Anthuroidea Leach, 1814 **Antheluridae Poore & Lew Ton, 1988 **Anthuridae Leach, 1814 **Expanathuridae Poore, 2001 **Hyssuridae Wägele, 1981 **Leptanthuridae Poore, 2001 **Paranthuridae Menzies & Glynn, 1968 *Superfamily Cymothooidea Leach, 1814 **Aegidae White, 1850 **Anuropidae Stebbing, 1893 **Barybrotidae Hansen, 1890 **Cirolanidae Dana, 1852 **Corallanidae Hansen, 1890 **Cymothoidae Leach, 1818 **Gnathiidae Leach, 1814 **Protognathiidae Wägele & Brandt, 1988 **Tridentellidae Bruce, 1984 *Infraorder Epica ...
