口足目系统分类学研究进展

<正>口足目Stomatopoda隶属甲壳动物亚门Crustacea软甲纲Malacostraca掠虾亚纲Hoplocarida。掠虾亚纲是软甲纲三个亚纲中形态构造最为特殊的一个类群,仅含口足目1目,现生种超过450种,分隶于7总科17科1]。口足类在世界各大海域广泛分布,但主要分布于热带和亚热带水域,其中在印度-西太平洋热带海域种类最为丰富1]。口足类是十分重要的海洋底栖甲壳动物,在海洋底栖生物和海岸软泥沙底质群落食物链中占据

Progress on the systematics of Stomatopoda (Crustacea: Malacostraca)

Stomatopods are benthic marine crustaceans of the class Malacostraca, subclass Hoplocarida. Commonly known as mantis shrimps, they are both commercially valuable and taxonomically diverse which consist of 17 families in 7 superfamilies. Much more progress has been made on systematics of Stomatopoda. However, taxonomy and phylogeny of the major taxa are still under debate. Here the systematic study on Stomatopoda is summarized and the recent research advances in phylogeny of Stomatopoda are introduced. Additionally, some taxonomic and phylogentic problems with important groups of Stomatopoda and further studies needed to address these problems have been discussed to provide scientific information for the incoming researches on resources conservation and effective management of stomatopods.
