Apseudomorph Tanaids [Apseudidae]

Description

Apseudidae is a family within the order Tanaidacea, characterized by their elongated bodies and the presence of pereopods (walking legs) that are not distinctly differentiated into gnathopods (mouthparts). Members of this family are mostly found in marine environments, from shallow waters to deep-sea habitats. They are detritivores, feeding on decomposing organic matter, and play a significant role in the benthic ecosystem.
