Mysidacea

Belongs within: Eumalacostraca.
Contains: Mysida.

The Mysidacea are small, mostly marine shrimp-like crustaceans with an extensive carapace covering part of the first thorax section but originally connected to only one thoracic segment. There is some doubt as to whether the two major living groups, the Lophogastrida and Mysida, actually form a monophyletic unit. Lophogastrida differ from Mysida in the presence of gills on most thoracopods (Casanova et al. 1998).
