Stenothoidae is a family of arthropods in the order Amphipoda.
Gammaridea is one of the suborders of the order Amphipoda, comprising small, shrimp-like crustaceans. Until recently, in a traditional classification, it encompassed about 7,275 (92%) of the 7,900 species of amphipods described by then, in approximately 1,000 genera, divided among around 125 families. That concept of Gammaridea included almost all freshwater amphipods, while most of the members still were marine.
Calliopiidae is a family of amphipods, containing the following genera:
Pardaliscidae is a family of amphipods, whose members typically inhabit the deepest parts of ocean basins. It contains the following genera:
Oedicerotidae is a family of amphipods. It comprises the following genera:
Lysianassidae is a family of marine amphipods, containing the following genera:
Leucothoe is a genus of amphipods in the family Leucothoidae. It contains the following species:
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.
Photis is a genus of amphipod crustaceans, containing the following species:
Amphilochus is a genus of crustaceans in the Amphipoda order, containing the following species:
Urothoe is a genus of very small marine amphipod crustaceans in the family Urothoidae. Members of the genus are found worldwide.
Pontogeneiidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans, containing the following genera:
Stegocephalidae is a little-studied family of amphipods belonging to the suborder Gammaridea.
Phoxocephalidae is a family of small, shrimp-like crustaceans in the suborder Gammaridea described by Georg Ossian Sars in 1891. It contains Cocoharpinia iliffei, a critically endangered species on the IUCN Red List.
Epimeria is a genus of amphipods in the family Epimeriidae. There are more than 80 described species in Epimeria.
Ampithoidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans. The family has a worldwide distribution as algal dwellers. They commonly create tube-shaped nests on their host plants or algae which serve as both shelter and food. Young ampithoids develop from eggs to a larval stage within their mother's brood-pouch, formed by the appendages of her abdomen.
Eusirus is a genus of amphipods belonging to the family Eusiridae. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution. Within the genus Eusirus sexual dimorphism is weak, therefore identifying the sex of non-adult individuals is difficult.
Iphimediidae is a family of amphipods belonging to the order Amphipoda.
Pleustidae is a family of amphipods belonging to the order Amphipoda.
Maeridae is a family of marine amphipods, which was first described by Taudl Krapp-Schickel in 2008.
