Amphipoda

The Amphipoda show some similarity to the isopods, but there are important differences between the groups. One obvious difference is that they show lateral rather than dorsoventral* flattening of the body.

 

Gammarids, like the Gammarus shown here are typical amphipods, there being both fresh water and marine species.
