Barbouria
''Barbouria'' is a genus of shrimp in the family Barbouriidae, comprising two species. ''B. cubensis'' ''Barbouria cubensis'' was originally described in 1872 by Eduard von Martens – under the name ''Hippolyte cubensis'' – from anchialine caves between Cojimar and Castillo Morro, near Havana, Cuba. It has since been found in the Turks and Caicos Islands, Bermuda, Cayman Brac and the Bahamas. The animals grow to long and are a deep red colour. It is listed as a critically endangered species on the IUCN Red List. ''B. yanezi'' ''Barbouria yanezi'' was described in 2008 from Cozumel Island, Mexico Mexico (Spanish: México), officially the United Mexican States, is a country in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatema .... It grows to a length of .

Alpheoidea
Alpheoidea is a superfamily of shrimp containing the families Alpheidae, Barbouriidae, Hippolytidae and Ogyrididae Ogyrididae is a family of decapod crustaceans consisting of 10 species. Appearance Eyes are elongate, reaching nearly to distal end of antennular peduncle. Their first pair of pereiopods is robust and similar in size to the second pair; disti ....

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 in ...

Parhippolyte
''Parhippolyte'' is a genus of cave dwelling decapod crustaceans, known as cave shrimps from the family ''Barbouriidae'' The type species ''Parhipplyte uvea'' was described in 1900 by the English carcinologist Lancelot Alexander Borradaile from specimens collected in the south western Pacific by Arthur Willey. As their vernacular name of cave shrimp suggests these species are generally found in marine caves as well as Anchialine pool, anchialine ponds and lagoons. Species There are currently 5 species recognised: * ''Parhippolyte cavernicola'' Wicksten, 1996 — Gulf of California * ''Parhippolyte misticia'' (J. Clark, 1989) — Palau * ''Parhippolyte rukuensis'' Burukovsky, 2007 — Ryukyu Islands * ''Parhippolyte sterreri'' (C.W.J. Hart & Manning, 1981) — Caribbean and Bermuda * ''Parhippolyte uveae'' Borradaile, 1900 — Indian and western Pacific Oceans References {{Taxonbar, from=Q4471572 Alpheoidea Cave shrimp Decapod genera ...

Parhippolyte Sterreri
''Parhippolyte sterreri'' is a species of marine decapod crustacean in the family Barbouriidae, formerly placed in the genus ''Somersiella''. It is found in marine caves around the Bahamas, Cuba and Mexico and inland anchialine caves in Bermuda. Description Sterrer’s cave shrimp is bright red with narrow white bands at the joints of the swimming legs and three white spots on the tail. The head has prominent dark eyes and long antennae. The specialised appendages which help to trap prey are red at the base, fading to white towards the tip. The rostrum is short, smooth and rounded. The abdominal segments are rounded and the fifth segment possesses a sharp spine. Biology A female shrimp collected on Cozumel had 2000 tiny eggs attached to its pleopod The decapod ( crustaceans such as a crab, lobster, shrimp or prawn) is made up of 20 body segments grouped into two main body parts: the cephalothorax and the pleon (abdomen). Each segment may possess one pair of appenda ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') 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". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...

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 of ...
