Gammaridea is a suborder of small, shrimp-like crustaceans in the order Amphipoda. It contains about 7,275 (92%) of the 7,900 described species of amphipods, in approximately 1,000 genera, divided among around 125 families.[1] Gammaridea includes almost all freshwater amphipods (such as Gammarus pulex), as well as many marine lineages. The group may be paraphyletic,[2] and a 2003 revision by Myers and Lowry moved several families from Gammaridea to join members of the former Caprellidea in a new suborder Corophiidea.[1]
