Arcitalitrus is a genus of beach hoppers in the family Talitridae. There are about nine described species in Arcitalitrus. [1] [2] [3]
These nine species belong to the genus Arcitalitrus:
Amphipoda is an order of malacostracan crustaceans with no carapace and generally with laterally compressed bodies. Amphipods range in size from 1 to 340 millimetres 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 terrestrial animals and sandhoppers such as Talitrus saltator.
Monoporeia affinis, formerly referred to as Pontoporeia affinis, is a small, yellowish benthic amphipod living in the Baltic Sea, the Arctic Sea and the lakes of the Nordic Countries.
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.
Corophiida is an infraorder of amphipods that contains the two parvorders Caprellidira and Corophiidira.
Talitridae is a family of amphipods. Terrestrial species are often referred to as landhoppers and beach dwellers are called sandhoppers or sand fleas. The name sand flea is misleading, though, because these talitrid amphipods do not bite people.
Chiltonia is a genus of amphipod crustaceans endemic to New Zealand. Four species are known, three of which live in fresh waters. They were first discovered by Charles Chilton in 1898 and the genus Chiltonia was erected the following year by T. R. R. Stebbing in Chilton's honour.
Orchestia is a genus of amphipods in the family Talitridae, containing the following species:
Talorchestia is a genus of amphipod of the family Talitridae, containing the following species:
Africorchestia is a genus of sand-hoppers in the family Talitridae.
Parorchestia is a genus of amphipods in the family Talitridae, containing the following species:
Stygobromus russelli, known generally as the russell stygobromid or Russell's cave amphipod, is a species of amphipod in the family Crangonyctidae. It is found in North America.
Arcitalitrus sylvaticus, known generally as the lawn shrimp or landhopper, is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae. It is found in Australia and nearby areas of the Pacific but has been introduced to other places, like California, New Zealand, the British Isles, and Florida.
Americorchestia is a genus of beach hoppers in the family Talitridae. There are about five described species in Americorchestia.
Uhlorchestia uhleri is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae.
Uhlorchestia is a genus of beach hoppers in the family Talitridae. There are at least two described species in Uhlorchestia.
Haustorius is a genus of amphipods in the family Haustoriidae. There are about six described species in Haustorius.
Traskorchestia is a genus of beach hoppers in the family Talitridae. There are at least three described species in Traskorchestia.
Ampithoidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans.
Caprella unica is a species of skeleton shrimp in the genus Caprella within the family Caprellidae. The larvae are plankton-like. They are relatively small, with two large and two small antennae. They only live in the sea, and are widely found in Cape Cod, Maine and Newfoundland.
Eurythenes is a genus of marine amphipods in the family Eurytheneidae.
