Talitroidea
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 genera, divided among around 125 families. That concept of Gammaridea included almost all freshwater amphipods, while most of the members still were marine. The group is however considered paraphyletic, and is under deconstruction by the amphipod taxonomists 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).

Senticaudata
Senticaudata is one of the four suborders of the crustacean order Amphipoda (aka scuds, sideswimmers). It includes some 5000 species, which is more than 50% or the currently recognized amphipod diversity.Introduction World Amphipoda Database (read 23 March 2014) Senticaudata was split off from the traditional suborder by Lowry & Myers in 2013, as a part of a process of reorganising the higher taxonomy of amphipods. It now also encompasses the previously recognized and |
Amphipoda
Amphipoda is an order of malacostracan crustaceans with no carapace and generally with laterally compressed bodies. Amphipods range in size from and are mostly detritivores or scavengers. There are more than 9,900 amphipod species so far described. They are mostly marine animals, but are found in almost all aquatic environments. Some 1,900 species live in fresh water, and the order also includes the terrestrial sandhoppers such as '' Talitrus saltator''. Etymology and names The name ''Amphipoda'' comes, via New Latin ', from the Greek roots 'on both/all sides' and 'foot'. This contrasts with the related Isopoda, which have a single kind of thoracic leg. Particularly among anglers, amphipods are known as ''freshwater shrimp'', ''scuds'', or ''sideswimmers''. Description Anatomy The body of an amphipod is divided into 13 segments, which can be grouped into a head, a thorax and an abdomen. The head is fused to the thorax, and bears two pairs of antennae and one pair of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amaryllididae
Amaryllididae is a family of marine benthic amphipods found throughout the southern hemisphere. These smooth, laterally compressed amphipods can be distinguished by the accessory setal row of the mandible having a distal tuft. It was first described in 2002 by James K. Lowry and Helen E. Stoddart. It contains the following genera: *''Amaryllis'' Haswell, 1879 *'' Bamarooka'' Lowry & Stoddart, 2002 *'' Bathyamaryllis'' Pirlot, 1933 *'' Bertoliella'' *''Devo'' Lowry & Stoddart, 2002 *'' Erikus'' Lowry & Stoddart, 1987 *'' Pseudamaryllis'' Andres, 1981 *'' Vijaya'' Walker, 1904 *''Wonga Wonga may refer to: Species * Wonga pigeon, a pigeon that inhabits areas in eastern Australia * ''P. pandorana'' (wonga vine), a species of the genus ''Pandorea'' Places in Australia Queensland * Wonga, Queensland, a town in Queensland * Wong ...''
