Campylonotoidea is a superfamily ofshrimp, containing the two familiesCampylonotidae andBathypalaemonellidae.Fenner A. Chace considered it to be thesister group to the much larger superfamilyPalaemonoidea, with which it shares the absence of endopods on the pereiopods, and the fact that the first pereiopod is thinner than the second.[1] Usingmolecular phylogenetics, Brackenet al. proposed that Campylonotoidea may be closer toAtyoidea.[2] There are sixteen described species in 3 genera; no fossils are known.[3]
