Caprellidira
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, 1 ...

Corophiida
Corophiida is an infraorder of amphipods that contains the two parvorders Caprellidira ( skeleton shrimp and whale lice) and Corophiidira. In 2003-2013 this group was treated as a suborder, Corophiidea, which in turn had been re-established to contain the taxa previously treated as the suborder Caprellidea, together with some families formerly placed in the suborder Gammaridea. More recently, the group was made part of the new suborder Senticaudata.Lowry, J.K. & Myers, A.A. (2013A Phylogeny and Classification of the Senticaudata subord. nov.

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. (2013A Phylogeny and Classification of the Senticaudata subord. nov. (Crustacea: Amphipoda) Zootaxa 3610 (1): 1-80.Senticaudata
The group includes the following families. *

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 someti ....
