The '''Mysidacea''' is a group of [shrimp](/source/shrimp)-like [crustacean](/source/crustacean)s in the superorder [Peracarida](/source/Peracarida), comprising the two extant [orders](/source/Order_(biology)) [Mysida](/source/Mysida) and [Lophogastrida](/source/Lophogastrida) and the prehistoric [Pygocephalomorpha](/source/Pygocephalomorpha). Current data indicate that despite their external similarities, the three orders are not closely related,<ref name=Mel>{{cite journal |author=K. Meland & E.
