Hyperiidea
The Hyperiidea is one ot the six suborders of amphipods, small aquatic crustaceans. Unlike some other suborders of Amphipoda, hyperiids are exclusively marine and do not occur in fresh water. Hyperiids are distinguished by their large eyes and planktonic habitat. Most species of hyperiids are parasites or predators of salps and jellyfish in the plankton, although '' Themisto gaudichaudii'' and a few relatives are free-swimming predators of copepods and other small planktonic animals. Gallery Taxonomy According to World Amphipoda Database, 284 species of Hyperiidea are known in 2025. Some controversy exists as to the number of families in the Hyperiidea, being given as between 20 and 23 depending on whether groups like the Thaumatopsidae are considered distinct or not. The taxonomy of Hyperiidea currently accepted by the ''World Register of Marine Species'' is as follows: ;Infraorder Physocephalata Bowman & Gruner, 1973 * Parvorder Physocephalatidira Bowman & Gruner, 1973 ...
