Sicyoniidae
''Sicyonia'' is a genus of prawns, placed in its own family, Sicyoniidae. It differs from other prawns in that the last three pairs of its pleopods are uniramous, rather than biramous as seen in all other prawns. ''Sicyonia'' contains 52 extant species, and one species known only from fossils from the Upper Cretaceous. Analyses using molecular phylogenetics suggest that the family Sicyoniidae is nested within the larger family Penaeidae, and that the latter family may need to be divided up, elevating each of its traditionally recognised tribes to the rank of family. The extant species are: *''Sicyonia abathophila'' (Crosnier, 2003) *''Sicyonia adunca'' (Crosnier, 2003) *'' Sicyonia affinis'' (Faxon, 1893) *''Sicyonia aliaffinis'' (Burkenroad, 1934) *''Sicyonia altirostrum'' (Crosnier, 2003) *''Sicyonia australiensis'' Hanamura & Wadley, 1998 *''Sicyonia benthophila'' (De Man, 1907) *''Sicyonia bispinosa'' (De Haan, 1844) *'' Sicyonia brevirostris'' (Stimpson, 1871) *''Sicyonia ...

Dendrobranchiata
Dendrobranchiata is a suborder of decapods, commonly known as prawns. There are 540 extant species in seven families, and a fossil record extending back to the Devonian. They differ from related animals, such as Caridea and Stenopodidea, by the branching form of the gills and by the fact that they do not brood their eggs, but release them directly into the water. They may reach a length of over and a mass of , and are widely fished and farmed for human consumption. Shrimp and prawns While Dendrobranchiata and Caridea belong to different suborders of Decapoda, they are very similar in appearance, and in many contexts such as commercial farming and fisheries, they are both often referred to as "shrimp" and "prawn" interchangeably. In the United Kingdom, the word "prawn" is more common on menus than "shrimp", while the opposite is the case in North America. The term "prawn" is also loosely used to describe any large shrimp, especially those that come 15 (or fewer) to the pound (su ...
