'''Acuariidae''' is a [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) of [spiruria](/source/spiruria)n [nematode](/source/nematode)s. Like all nematodes, they have neither a [circulatory](/source/circulatory_system) nor a [respiratory system](/source/respiratory_system). They are the only family in [superfamily](/source/Taxonomic_rank) '''Acuarioidea''', and number about 40 [genera](/source/genera) and 300 [species](/source/species), most of which are [parasite](/source/parasite)s of [bird](/source/bird)s.<ref name = hallan2007>Hallan (2007)</ref>

==Genera==
Several genera, particularly in the Seuratiinae, are [monotypic](/source/monotypic).<ref name = hallan2007 /> At least some of them are liable to be invalid.
