Uromunna is a genus of isopod crustaceans.
The genus contains the following species: [1]
Sphaeromatidae is a family of isopods, often encountered on rocky shores and in shelf waters in temperate zones. The family includes almost 100 genera and 619 known marine species. Within these genera, there are groups that share distinctive morphologies; further research may reclassify these genus-groups as separate families.
Curassanthura is a genus of isopod crustaceans in the family Leptanthuridae. It contains the following species:
Anthuroidea is a superfamily of isopod crustaceans, formerly treated as a suborder, Anthuridea. The group is characterised by "an elongate cylindrical body form, without dorsal coxal plates, and with a uropodal exopod attached to the peduncle proximally and dorsally". There are more than 500 described species in 57 genera, arranged across six families:
Iais is a genus of isopod crustaceans. Iais species are found in association with larger isopods of the family Sphaeromatidae, usually on the ventral surface of the larger animal, between the pereiopods and on the pleopods. They are native to Australasia and South America, although Iais californica and its host Sphaeroma quoyanum have invaded California, and I. californica was first described from Sausalito, California. Nine species are recognised:
Eurydice is a genus of isopod crustaceans named after the mythical Eurydice, wife of the musician Orpheus. It includes the following species:
The Cirolanidae are a family of isopod crustaceans, including these genera:
Paracerceis is a genus of isopod crustacean in the family Sphaeromatidae. It contains the following species:

Gnathia is a genus of isopod crustaceans, containing the following species:
Uroptychus is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Chirostylidae found across the Indo-Pacific. The genus Uroptychus contains the following species:
The Arcturidae are a family of marine isopod crustaceans in the suborder Valvifera. Members of the family resemble woodlice and are found globally in cooler areas in shallow seas.
Dynoides is a genus of isopod crustaceans in the family Sphaeromatidae, containing the following species:
Lepeophtheirus is a genus of sea louse. The best-known species is L. salmonis, the salmon louse. Other species include L. pectoralis, which uses flatfish as its host, particularly the European flounder, and is also the type species of the genus Lepeophtheirus.
Uromunna sheltoni is a species of isopod first described by Brian Kensley in 1977. U. sheltoni is included in the genus Uromunna and family Munnidae. No subspecies are listed. The species was first collected by Peter Shelton of the University of Cape Town, for whom it is named.
The Munnidae are a family of isopod crustaceans, containing these genera:
Cirolana is a genus of isopod crustaceans.
Janiridae is a family of isopods in the order Isopoda. There are more than 20 genera and 190 described species in Janiridae.
Antarcturidae is a family of marine isopods belonging to the suborder Valvifera.
Leptanthura is a genus of isopod crustaceans in the family Leptanthuridae. It was first described in 1897 by Georg Ossian Sars and the type species is Paranthura tenuis. It is found in coastal waters throughout the world, and contains the following species:
