Identification
South Atlantic amphipods can be identified to genus in the section of the key that begins at Page 1405: Amphipoda. Further identification to species must be done by comparing species diagnoses.

Species
See the page for Order Amphipoda (and following pages) in the Higher taxa module. A species list can also be found on that page.

For the species, see Cleonardo longipes to Phtisica marina in the Species module (200 pages).
