Family CHEVALIIDAE Myers & Lowry, 2003
Introduction
The family Chevaliidae was established by Myers & Lowry (2003) based on a phylogenetic analysis of corophiidean amphipods. This monotypic family, was recently recorded for the first time from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia (Myers 2009). According to Myers & Lowry (2003) chevaliids are basal corophiideans closely related to chelurids. Chelurids are 'big-time' wood-eaters (ask any sailor), but nothing is known of feeding habits in chevaliids.
