Haustoriidae
Haustoriidae is a family (biology), family of Amphipoda, amphipods. They are very distinctive stout-bodied burrowing animals. The following genera are included in the family: *''Acanthohaustorius'' Bousfield, 1965 *''Cunicus'' *''Eohaustorius'' J. L. Barnard, 1957 *''Haustorius'' P. L. St. Muller, 1775 *''Lepidactylus'' Say, 1818 *''Neohaustorius'' Bousfield, 1965 *''Parahaustorius'' Bousfield, 1971 *''Protohaustorius'' Bonsfield, 1965 *''Pseudohaustorius'' Bousfield, 1965 References Gammaridea Taxa named by Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing Amphipod families {{Amphipod-stub ...

Gammaridea
Gammaridea is one of the suborders of the order Amphipoda, comprising small, shrimp-like crustaceans. Until recently, in a traditional classification, it encompassed about 7,275 (92%) of the 7,900 species of amphipods described by then, in approximately 1,000 genus, genera, divided among around 125 family (biology), families. That concept of Gammaridea included almost all fresh water, freshwater amphipods, while most of the members still were marine. The group is however considered paraphyly, paraphyletic, and is under deconstruction by the amphipod taxonomists Jim Lowry, J. Lowry and A. Myers. In 2003 they moved several families from Gammaridea to join members of the former Caprellidea in a new suborder Corophiidea.A. A. Myers & J. K. Lowry (2003).
