Genera
Procarididae Chace & Manning, 1972 Procaris Chace & Manning, 1972 Vetericaris Kensley & Williams, 1986 † Udora Münster, 1839 † Udorellidae Van Straelen, 1925 † Udorella Oppel, 1862

Procarididea is an infraorder of decapods, comprising only thirteen species. Six of these are in the genera Procaris and Vetericaris , which together make up the family Procarididae. The remaining seven species are only known from fossils, one belonging to the genus Udorella (the sole member of the family Udorellidae) ^{[1] [2]} and the other six belonging to the genus Udora , which cannot yet be assigned to any family. ^{[3] [4]}

The cladogram below shows Procarididea's relationships to other relatives within Decapoda, from analysis by Wolfe et al., 2019. ^[5]
