Caprellida
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, 1871 ...

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 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 known ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 sometime ....

Caprelloidea
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.
