Family HAMONDIIDAE Huys, 1990


Compiler and date details

31 May 2007 - G.K. Walker-Smith & K. Chilton-Lahey

Introduction

There are three genera and fours species contained in the family Hamondiidae. The one species recorded for Australia, Hamondia superba, has been found in association with a sponge, while the other species are predominantly phytal (Boxshall & Halsey 2004). Although Willen (2000) treated the Hamondiidae and the Ambunguipedidae as synonyms of the Rhyncothalestridae Lang, 1948, Boxshall and Halsey (2004) did not adopt this synonymy.
