Gammaridae
Gammaridae is a family of amphipods. In North America they are included among the folk taxonomic category of "scuds",[1] and otherwise gammarids is usually used as a common name.
They have a wide distribution, centered on Eurasia, and are euryhaline as a lineage, inhabiting fresh to marine waters.
Systematics
The Gammaridae were for a long time used as a "wastebin taxon" for numerous other genera of Gammaridea. these have now been removed to groups such as the Anisogammaridae, Calliopiidae, Melitidae, Niphargidae, Pontoporeiidae or Talitridae.
The family contains the following genera:[2]
