Alpheidae
Alpheidae sunt famila squillarum crepantium infraordinis Carideorum, quarum proprietas est bracchia asymmetrica, quorum maius bracchium plerumque magnum concrepandi sonum facere potest.

Familia est diversa, per omnem orbis terrarum distributa, in 1119 fere speciebus intra triginta octo vel plus genera consistens. Genera maximi momenti sunt Alpheus et Synalpheus, quorum species plus quam 250 et 100 proprie numerantur. Nonnullae species cuniculos in arena defodiunt, ubi cum Gobiidis in coniunctione symbiotica habitant.

Genera

Plus quam 620 species in familia Alpheidarum hodie agnoscuntur, inter quadraginta quinque genera distributae, quarum maxima sunt genera Alpheus, cui sunt 283 species, et Synalpheus, cui sunt 146 species.
