Palaemonidae is a

commensals. They generally feed on detritus, though some are carnivores and hunt tiny animals.[1]

The family contains more than 1200 species in 160 genera.[2][3][4] The genera were formerly split into two subfamilies, but in 2015, molecular and morphological research determined that the subfamily groupings were invalid. At the same time, the members of the families Gnathophyllidae and Hymenoceridae were incorporated into the Palaemonidae.[5][6]

Genera

The following genera are recognised:[7]

Some of the genera were formerly placed in the family Gnathophyllidae,[8] which is no longer recognized.[7] These shrimp were often associated with echinoderms,[9] and consisted of about 14 species in five genera:[3]
