Epimeria is a genus of amphipods in the family Epimeriidae. There are more than 80 described species in Epimeria. [1] [2]
These 85 species belong to the genus Epimeria:
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.
