Corophiidae is a family of amphipods, containing the following 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.
Hyalidae is a family of amphipods, containing 12 genera in two unequal subfamilies:
Cheluridae is a family of amphipods. It is the only family classified under the superfamily Cheluroidea.
Gammarellidae is a family of amphipods containing three genera:
Haustoriidae is a family of amphipods. They are very distinctive stout-bodied burrowing animals.
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 are not siphonapterans, do not bite people, and are not limited to sandy beaches.
Oedicerotidae is a family of amphipods. It comprises the following genera:
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:
Amphilochidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans, containing the following genera:
Crassicorophium is a genus of amphipod crustaceans, comprising three species:
Monocorophium is a genus of amphipod crustaceans.
Medicorophium is a genus of amphipod crustaceans, comprising the following species:
Sinocorophium is a genus of amphipod crustaceans.
Atylidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans, containing the following genera:
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.
Phoxocephalidae is a family of small, shrimp-like crustaceans in the suborder Gammaridea described by Georg Ossian Sars in 1891. It contains Cocoharpinia iliffei, a critically endangered species on the IUCN Red List.
Gammaroidea is a superfamily of crustaceans in the order Amphipoda.
Pleustidae is a family of amphipods belonging to the order Amphipoda.
Neoniphargidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Amphipoda.
