Traskorchestia is a genus of beach hoppers in the family Talitridae. There are at least three described species in Traskorchestia. [1] [2] [3]
These three species belong to the genus Traskorchestia:
Monoporeia affinis, formerly referred to as Pontoporeia affinis, is a small, yellowish benthic amphipod living in the Baltic Sea, the Arctic Sea and the lakes of the Nordic Countries.
Anisogammaridae is a family of small benthic amphipods, endemic to the northern part of the Pacific rim. The family contains the following genera:
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.
Chiltonia is a genus of amphipod crustaceans endemic to New Zealand. Four species are known, three of which live in fresh waters. They were first discovered by Charles Chilton in 1898 and the genus Chiltonia was erected the following year by T. R. R. Stebbing in Chilton's honour.
Africorchestia is a genus of sand-hoppers in the family Talitridae.
Parorchestia is a genus of amphipods in the family Talitridae, containing the following species:
Megalorchestia is a genus of sand-hoppers in the family Talitridae. The genus was erected by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich von Brandt in 1851 and the type species is Megalorchestia californiana.
Calliopius is a genus of amphipods in the family Calliopiidae. There are about nine described species in Calliopius.
Arcitalitrus sylvaticus, known generally as the lawn shrimp or landhopper, is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae. It is found in Australia and nearby areas of the Pacific but has been introduced to other places, like California, New Zealand, the British Isles, and Florida.
Arcitalitrus is a genus of beach hoppers in the family Talitridae. There are about nine described species in Arcitalitrus.
Americorchestia megalophthalma, the northern big-eyed sandhopper, is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae.
Americorchestia is a genus of beach hoppers in the family Talitridae. There are about five described species in Americorchestia.
Orchestia grillus is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae. It is found in South America.
Uhlorchestia uhleri is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae.
Uhlorchestia is a genus of beach hoppers in the family Talitridae. There are at least two described species in Uhlorchestia.
Haustorius is a genus of amphipods in the family Haustoriidae. There are about six described species in Haustorius.
Americorchestia longicornis, the common Atlantic sandhopper, is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae.
Megalorchestia corniculata is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae.
Traskorchestia traskiana, the Pacific beach hopper, is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae.
Transorchestia enigmatica is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae. So far, it has only been found in Lake Merritt in Oakland, California, where it was found by Jim Carlton in 1962. In 1967, Carlton and Edward L. Bousfield of the National Museum of Canada published a paper naming it Orchestia enigmatica. Bousfield re-classified it as Transorchestia enigmatica in 1982. It is not thought to be endemic to California. Its closest known relative is the Transorchestia chiliensis.
