Edriophthalma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edriophthalma is a disused peracarid (Malacostraca) classification comprising Isopoda and Amphipoda, first proposed by Frederick Schram [1]. They have several common feautures, such as the fact that they both lack a carapace. Molecular studies have shown that these are not related. [2]
