Leptocheliidae is a family of malacostracans in the order Tanaidacea. There are more than 30 genera and 140 described species in Leptocheliidae. [1] [2] [3]
These 32 genera belong to the family Leptocheliidae:
The crustacean order Tanaidacea make up a minor group within the class Malacostraca. There are about 940 species in this order.
Pagurapseudidae is a family of crustaceans in the order Tanaidacea. Like hermit crabs, they inhabit empty gastropod shells, but can be told apart from hermit crabs by the lack of a carapace, revealing the segmentation of the thorax, and by the greater number of legs: hermit crabs have five pairs of legs, of which the first has large claws, and the last is highly reduced, while in Pagurapseudidae, there is one pair of claws, plus six further walking legs.
Lophogastrida is an order of malacostracan crustaceans in the superorder Peracarida, comprising shrimp-like animals that mostly inhabit the relatively deep pelagic waters of the oceans throughout the world.
Monstrilloida is an order of copepods with a cosmopolitan distribution in the world's oceans. The order contains a single family, Monstrillidae. The name of the first ever described genus Monstrilla is derived from latin, meaning "tiny monster", because the lack of usual diagnostic features of copepods puzzled early taxonomists.
Spongicolidae is a family of glass sponge shrimps in the order Decapoda. There are about 8 genera and more than 40 described species in Spongicolidae.
Hirsutiidae is a family of crustaceans, classified either as a separate order, Bochusacea, or as part of a wider Mictacea. It comprises five species in three genera:
Platyarthridae is a family of woodlice, containing the following genera:
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.
Parakonarus kopure is a species of tanaidomorphan malacostracan crustacean found in New Zealand.
Paratanais tara is a species of tanaidomorphan malacostracan crustacean found in New Zealand.
Paratanais paraoa is a species of tanaidomorphan malacostracan crustacean found in New Zealand.
Tanaopsis rawhitia is a species of tanaidomorphan malacostracan crustacean found in New Zealand.
Synaptotanais notabilis is a species of malacostracan in the family Tanaididae.
Detonidae is a family of woodlice in the order Isopoda. There are at least 3 genera and more than 30 described species in Detonidae.
Cylisticidae is a family of woodlice in the order Isopoda. There are at least 4 genera and more than 60 described species in Cylisticidae.
Tanaididae is a family of malacostracans in the order Tanaidacea. There are about 19 genera and more than 90 described species in Tanaididae.
Bathyporeiidae is a family of amphipods in the order Amphipoda. There are two genera in Bathyporeiidae:
Colobathristidae is a family of true bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are more than 20 genera and 90 described species in Colobathristidae.
Unciolidae is a family of crustaceans in the order Amphipoda. There are about 9 genera and more than 20 described species in Unciolidae.
Chydoridae is a family of water fleas in the order Anomopoda. There are more than 50 genera and 520 described species in Chydoridae.
