The family Oplophoridae is a taxon of pelagic shrimp and the only subtaxon of the superfamily Oplophoroidea.[1] It contains the following genera:[1]
- Acanthephyra A. Milne-Edwards, 1881
- Ephyrina Smith, 1885
- Heterogenys Chace, 1986
- Hymenodora Sars, 1877
- Janicella Chace, 1986
- Kemphyra Chace, 1986
- Meningodora Smith, 1882
- Notostomus A. Milne-Edwards, 1881
- † Odontochelion Garassino, 1994
- Oplophorus H. Milne-Edwards, 1837
- Systellaspis Bate, 1888
- † Tonellocaris Garassino, 1998
Molecular phylogenetics suggests that the family as currently circumscribed is polyphyletic, and may lead to the resurrection of a family Acanthephyridae for all genera except Oplophorus, Systellaspis and Janicella.[2]
