Apseudopsis [Apseudopsis]

Description

Apseudopsis is a genus of marine crustaceans within the Tanaidae family, known for their distinctive burrowing lifestyle. These organisms construct and inhabit tubes in muddy or sandy substrates, often in relatively shallow waters. They have a unique body plan that is somewhat flattened and adapted for their burrowing behavior. Their presence in marine sediments is indicative of healthy benthic ecosystems, where they contribute to sediment stability and nutrient cycling.
