Recently, Kudrjaschov and Vassilenko (1966) described a new family, Caprogammaridea, which they thought formed a link between the Gammaridea and Caprellidea.

Figure 55.—Distribution records of Caprella andreae, Caprella danilevskii, Caprella equilibra, Caprella scaura, and Caprella unica in the western North Atlantic. Recently, Kudrjaschov and Vassilenko (1966) described a new family, Caprogammaridea, which they thought formed a link between the Gammaridea and Caprellidea. They placed this family within the Gammaridea due to the following characters: The cephalon is not fused with pereonite 1; small coxal plates are present on all pereonites except 3 and 4; the abdomen consists of 5 free somites and bears 3 pairs of biramous pleopods and 2 pairs of uniramous uropods; and the abdomen bears a small telson. In order to place this important link between the 2 suborders in the Gammaridea, I beUeve that it would be necessary to alter significantly the definition of the Gammaridea. Stebbing (1906) defines this suborder as Amphipoda which have the: Head not fused with 1st segment of peraeon. Palp of maxilliped 2- to 4-jointed. Peraeon with 7 pairs of legs; 5 or 6 segments of peraeon with branchial vesicles; 4 segments of female with marsupial plates; 1st joint of gnathopods 1, 2 and of.
