Specimens of Cancerilla on the disc of the brittle star Ophiacantha antarctica, photographed by Rafael Martín-Ledo.

Belongs within: Podoplea.
Contains: Asterocheridae, Nicothoidae, Dyspontiidae, Caligidae, Cancerillidae.

The Siphonostomatoida are a group of parasitic marine copepods with sucking mouthparts.

Characters (Nicholls 1944): Second antenna usually with an exopod; mouth-parts suctorial; maxillae and maxillipeds sub-chelate.
