Paratanaoidea is a superfamily of malacostracan crustacean. [1]
According to the World Register of Marine Species, the following families are accepted within Paratanaoidea: [1]
The following genera are regarded as Paratanaoidea incertae sedis , meaning their familial placement is uncertain: [2]
Mysidae is the largest family of crustaceans in the order Mysida, with over 1000 species in around 170 genera.
The crustacean order Tanaidacea make up a minor group within the class Malacostraca. There are about 940 species in this order.
The Vermetidae, the worm snails or worm shells, are a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha. The shells of species in the family Vermetidae are extremely irregular, and do not resemble the average snail shell, hence the common name "worm shells" or "worm snails".
Malacostegina is a sub-order of marine, colonial bryozoans in the order Cheilostomatida. The structure of the individual zooids is generally simple, with an uncalcified, flexible frontal wall. This sub-order includes the earliest known cheilostome, in the genus Pyriporopsis (Electridae).
Lottiidae is a family of sea snails, specifically true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Lottioidea and the clade Patellogastropoda.
Amathina is a genus of small sea snails, marine heterobranch gastropod molluscs or micromolluscs in the family Amathinidae.
Filifera is a suborder of hydrozoans in the order Anthoathecata. They are found in marine, brackish and freshwater habitats.
Leptastrea is a genus of massive reef building stony corals known primarily from the Indo-Pacific. Although previously assigned to Faviidae, Budd et al. (2012) assigned it to Scleractinia incertae sedis based on phylogenetic results demonstrating the polyphyly of Faviidae.
Leptocheliidae is a family of malacostracans in the order Tanaidacea. There are more than 30 genera and 140 described species in Leptocheliidae.
Typhlotanaidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Tanaidacea.
Akanthophoreidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Tanaidacea.
Anarthruridae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Tanaidacea.
Parapseudidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Tanaidacea.
Pseudotanaidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Tanaidacea. The family contains one subfamily, Pseudotanainae, which contains five genera.
Algospongia is a class of small, calcified fossil organisms of uncertain taxonomic position, assigned in a comprehensive 2010 review to "Animalia" incertae sedis, but both prior to and post that to an unnamed phylum of Algae; other workers simply list them as Problematica. They occur in carbonate rocks of the Paleozoic era and their last representatives occur in the Late Permian geological period. Characteristic genera include Aoujgalia, Moravammina and the early-appearing Wetheredella, although the taxonomic validity of the last named genus has been disputed.
Agathotanaidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Tanaidacea.
Araphura is a genus of malacostracan crustacean found in New Zealand.
Tanaellidae is a family of malacostracan crustacean.
Parapseudinae is an estuarine subfamily of crustacean in the order Tanaidacea.
Pseudotanais is a genus of tanaidacean crustacean.
