Remipedia

Remipedia is a class of blind crustacean-like animals, closely related to hexapods. They are found in coastal aquifers which contain saline groundwater, with populations identified in almost every ocean basin so far explored, including in Australia, the Caribbean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. The first described remipede was the fossil Tesnusocaris goldichi (Lower Pennsylvanian). Since 1979, at least seventeen living species have been identified in subtropical regions around the world.

Nectiopoda is one of the two orders of remipedes (members of the class Remipedia), the other being the extinct, monotypic order Enantiopoda.

Speleonectidae is a family of remipedes in the order Nectiopoda. There are at least two genera and about seven described species in Speleonectidae.

Godzilliidae is a family of remipedes in the order Nectiopoda. There are at least two genera and four described species in Godzilliidae.

Speleonectes is a genus of remipedes in the family Speleonectidae. It was the first genus of remipedes to be described, with the type species, Speleonectes lucayensis, having been discovered by Jill Yager in the Lucayan Caverns on Grand Bahama while cave diving in 1979.

Lasionectes is a monospecific genus of remipedes in the family Speleonectidae. It is one of two genera in the family, the other being Speleonectes, which was the first genus of remipedes to be described.

genus of crustaceans

Tesnusocarididae is an extinct family of remipedes and the sole member of the order Enantiopoda. It contains two genera, the type genus Tesnusocaris, and Cryptocaris, both known from the Carboniferous, with Tesnusocaris known from the Lower Pennsylvanian Tesnus Formation and Cryptocaris from the Middle Pennsylvanian Mazon Creek fossil beds.

Tesnusocaris is an extinct, monospecific genus of remipedian crustaceans that lived in the Pennsylvanian period, one of the two representatives of the extinct remipedian order Enantiopoda. It is known from a fossil discovered in the Lower Pennsylvanian (Paleozoic, Carboniferous) Tesnus Formation of Texas. The other known enantiopod remipedian is Cryptocaris hootchi of the Mazon Creek fauna.

Godzillius is a genus of remipedes in the family Godzilliidae. It contains the largest species of remipede in the world, Godzillius robustus, which grows to .
