'''Caprelloidea''' is a [superfamily](/source/superfamily_(taxonomy)) of marine [crustacean](/source/crustacean)s in the order [Amphipoda](/source/Amphipoda). It includes "untypical" forms of amphipods, such as the [skeleton shrimps](/source/skeleton_shrimps) (Caprellidae) and [whale lice](/source/whale_lice) (Cyamidae). The group was formerly treated as one of the four amphipod [suborder](/source/suborder)s, '''Caprellidea''', but has been moved down to the superfamily rank by Myers & Lowry (2003, 2013) after [phylogenetic](/source/phylogenetic) studies of the group, and is now contained in the infraorder [Corophiida](/source/Corophiida) of the suborder [Senticaudata](/source/Senticaudata).[{{cite journal|author1=A.A.
