<i>Phronima</i> Genus of crustaceans

Phronima is a genus of small, deep sea hyperiid amphipods of the family Phronimidae. It is found throughout the world's oceans, except in polar regions. Phronima species live in the pelagic zone of the deep ocean. Their bodies are semitransparent. Although commonly known as parasites, they are more technically correctly called parasitoids. Instead of constantly feeding on a live host, females attack salps, using their mouths and claws to eat the animal and hollow out its gelatinous shell. Phronima females then enter the barrel and lay their eggs inside, then propel the barrel through the water as the larvae develop, providing them with fresh food and water.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hyperiidea</span> Suborder of crustaceans

The Hyperiidea are a suborder of amphipods, small aquatic crustaceans. Unlike the other suborders of Amphipoda, hyperiids are exclusively marine and do not occur in fresh water. Hyperiids are distinguished by their large eyes and planktonic habitat. Most species of hyperiids are parasites or predators of salps and jellyfish in the plankton, although Themisto gaudichaudii and a few relatives are free-swimming predators of copepods and other small planktonic animals.

<i>Themisto gaudichaudii</i> Species of crustacean

Themisto gaudichaudii is an amphipod crustacean of the suborder Hyperiidea.

Bougisia is a genus of plankton in the sub-order Hyperiidea – a type of so-called "hyperid" amphipoda. The genus Bougisia is the only subordinate taxon in the monotypic family Bougisidae. The genus Bougisia is also monotypic, being represented by the single species, Bougisia ornata. This species lives as plankton in tropical and sub-tropical salt water. Hyperiidea species normally have a physique that differs from other types of amphipod.

Phronimoidea is a superfamily of plankton in the sub-order Hyperiidea.

Glossocephalus milneedwardsi is a species of amphipod in the family Oxycephalidae. It is epipelagic and lives in association with ctenophores.
