Caridea

 Thalassocaris crinita, photographed by artour_a.

Belongs within: Decapoda.
Contains: Bresilioidea, Pasiphaeidae, Atyidae, Nematocarcinoidea, Processidae, Alpheoidea, Crangonoidea, Pandalidae, Palaemonidae.

The Caridea are one of the main groups of true shrimps (Decapoda). Members of the group have phyllobranchiate gills and chelate first and (usually) second pereiopods, but lack chelae on the third pereiopods. Another potential synapomorphy of the carideans is the ‘caridean lobe’ on the first maxilliped (Dixon et al. 2003).

Subgroups of the Caridea include the Palaemonoidea, in which the outer ramus of the upper antenna bears an accessory branch, and mandibles have the incisor process (if present) distinctly separate from the molar process.
