Talitridae Family of amphipoda

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.

Lysianassidae Family of crustaceans

Lysianassidae is a family of marine amphipods, containing the following genera:

Thermosbaenacea Order of crustaceans

Thermosbaenacea is a group of crustaceans that live in thermal springs in fresh water, brackish water and anchialine habitats. They have occasionally been treated as a distinct superorder (Pancarida), but are generally considered to belong to the Peracarida. Due to their troglobitic lifestyle, thermosbaenaceans lack visual pigments and are therefore blind.

<i>Orchestia</i> Genus of crustaceans

Orchestia is a genus of amphipods in the family Talitridae, containing the following species:

Gammaridae Family of crustaceans

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.

<i>Bogidiella</i> Genus of crustaceans

Bogidiella is a genus of crustacean in the family Bogidiellidae, containing the following species:

<i>Gammarus</i> Genus of crustaceans

Gammarus is an amphipod crustacean genus in the family Gammaridae. It contains more than 200 described species, making it one of the most species-rich genera of crustaceans. Different species have different optimal conditions, particularly in terms of salinity, and different tolerances; Gammarus pulex, for instance, is a purely freshwater species, while Gammarus locusta is estuarine, only living where the salinity is greater than 25‰.

Ingolfiella longipes is a species of amphipod crustacean in the family Ingolfiellidae. It is known from a single specimen held at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center. It was collected from Walsingham Sink Cave, an anchialine cave in Hamilton Parish, Bermuda, and is thus considered to be critically endangered.

<i>Niphargus</i> Genus of crustaceans

Niphargus is by far the largest genus of its family, the Niphargidae, and the largest of all freshwater amphipod genera.

Pseudoniphargus is a genus of crustacean in family Pseudoniphargidae. It contains the following species:

Hyalella is a South and North American genus of mainly freshwater amphipods. The species in Hyalella include:

Iais is a genus of isopod crustaceans. Iais species are found in association with larger isopods of the family Sphaeromatidae, usually on the ventral surface of the larger animal, between the pereiopods and on the pleopods. They are native to Australasia and South America, although Iais californica and its host Sphaeroma quoyanum have invaded California, and I. californica was first described from Sausalito, California. Nine species are recognised:

Armadillidae Family of woodlice

Armadillidae is a family of woodlice, comprising around 80 genera and 700 species. It is the largest family of Oniscidea, and one of the most species-rich families of the entire Isopoda. Armadillids generally have a strongly convex body shape, with some rather shallowly convex. Like members of the woodlice family Armadillidiidae, armadillids are capable of enrolling into a sphere (conglobation), and are commonly known as pill bugs. Armadillids differ from the Armadillidiidae in that the antennae are fully enclosed within the sphere.
