Acanthogammaridae is a family of amphipod crustaceans, endemic to Lake Baikal. It contains the following subfamilies and genera: [1]
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.
Phliantidae is a family of isopod-like amphipod crustaceans chiefly from the southern hemisphere.
Lysianassidae is a family of marine amphipods, containing the following genera:
Allorchestes is a genus of amphipods with relatively small gnathopods, in the family Dogielinotidae; it contains the following species:
Leucothoidae is a family of amphipods. It contains 138 species in 5 genera:
Gammaridae is a family of amphipods. In North America they are included among the folk taxonomic category of "scuds", and otherwise gammarids is usually used as a common name.
Talorchestia is a genus of amphipod of the family Talitridae, containing the following species:
Cyproideidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans. Eighteen genera and 43 species have been described as of 2009. They mostly occur mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, where they form associations with corals, sponges, crinoids and hydroids.
Photis is a genus of amphipod crustaceans, containing the following species:
Pallaseidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans endemic to Lake Baikal. Some species are also found in the Angara River which flows out of Lake Baikal, and one species is distributed throughout Northern Palearctic. The composition of the family is a subject of discussion, with different sources listing either 9 genera and 58 species, or 8 genera and 20 species. They are benthic, nectobenthic or epibiotic.
Babr is a genus of amphipod crustaceans in the family Pallaseidae, endemic to Lake Baikal. There are 2 species in the genus.
Amphilochus is a genus of crustaceans in the Amphipoda order, containing the following species:
Dikerogammarus is a genus of amphipod crustaceans, containing the following species:
Pontogeneiidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans, containing the following genera:
Stegocephalidae is a little-studied family of amphipods belonging to the suborder Gammaridea.
Corophiidira is a parvorder of marine amphipod crustaceans in the infraorder Corophiida. In a previous classification, this taxon was treated as an infraorder and was then itself called Corophiida.
Gmelinoides is a genus of freshwater amphipod crustaceans of the family Micruropodidae.
Eulimnogammaridae is a family of amphipods belonging to the order Amphipoda.
Pachyschesis is a genus of crustaceans belonging to the monotypic family Pachyschesidae.
