Heteromysinae is a subfamily of predominantly marine mysid crustaceans from the family Mysidae. The name comes from the genus Heteromysis and describes differentiation of the pereiopods ( thoracic appendages) in the type genus. However, not all members of the subfamily share this feature. Heteromysines are distributed globally and include about 150 species, divided between three tribes: Heteromysini, Harmelinellini and Mysidetini. [1] [2] [3]
