Hadziidae
Hadziidae is a family (biology), family of Amphipoda, amphipods, which is difficult to distinguish from the related family Melitidae. It contains the following genera: *''Allotexiweckelia'' *''Alloweckelia'' *''Dulzura (amphipod), Dulzura'' *''Hadzia'' *''Holsingerius'' *''Indoweckelia'' *''Liagoceradocus'' *''Mayaweckelia'' *''Metahadzia'' *''Metaniphargus'' *''Mexiweckelia'' *''Paramexiweckelia'' *''Paraweckelia'' *''Protohadzia'' *''Psammoniphargus'' *''Saliweckelia'' *''Tagua (amphipod), Tagua'' *''Texiweckelia'' *''Texiweckeliopsis'' *''Weckelia'' *''Zhadia'' References

Mexiweckelia
''Mexiweckelia'' is a genus of amphipods in the family Hadziidae. There are at least three described species in ''Mexiweckelia''. Species These three species belong to the genus ''Mexiweckelia'': * ''Mexiweckelia colei'' Holsinger & Wendell L. Minckley, W. L. Minckley, 1971 * ''Mexiweckelia hardeni'' Holsinger, 1992 * ''Mexiweckelia mitchelli'' Holsinger, 1973 References

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).

Tagua (amphipod)
''Phytelephas'' is a genus containing six known species of dioecious palms ( family Arecaceae), occurring from southern Panama along the Andes to Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia, northwestern Brazil, and Peru. They are commonly known as ivory palms, ivory-nut palms or tagua palms; the scientific name ''Phytelephas'' means "plant ivory". This and the first two of the common names refer to the very hard white endosperm of their seeds (tagua nuts or jarina seeds), which resembles elephant ivory. They are medium-sized to tall palms reaching up to 20 m tall, with pinnate leaves. The "nut" is covered with pericarp, which gets removed by animals. The kernel is covered with a brown, flaky skin and shaped like a small avocado, roughly 4–8 cm in diameter. Uses Given trade restrictions in elephant ivory as well as animal welfare concerns, ivory palm endosperm is often used as a substitute for elephant ivory today, and traded under the names vegetable ivory, palm ivory, ''mar ...
