Unciolidae is a family of crustaceans in the order Amphipoda. There are about 9 genera and more than 20 described species in Unciolidae. [1] [2]
These nine genera belong to the family Unciolidae:
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.
Phliantidae is a family of isopod-like amphipod crustaceans chiefly from the southern hemisphere.
The Ocypodidae are a family of semiterrestrial crabs that includes the ghost crabs and fiddler crabs. They are found on tropical and temperate shorelines around the world.
Paracalliopiidae is a family of amphipods, containing the following genera:
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.
Iphimedia is a genus of amphipods which belongs to the family Iphimediidae in the arthropod group Amphipoda. It is the only genus of the family to have species which live in tropical waters. All other genera of the family are only found in cold or deep oceans.
Stenopodidae is a family of decapods in the order Decapoda. There are about 6 genera and more than 30 described species in Stenopodidae.
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.
