SUBORDER DENDROBRANCHIATA Bate, 1888

All dendrobranchiates were included until recently in two families: Penaeidae and Sergestidae . A revision ( Pérez Farfante & Kensley 1997) split what once were subfamilies into families of their own. This authoritative work provides a detailed discussion of the dendrobranchiate decapods.

The key given here is modified from Pérez Farfante & Kensley (1997). Hendrickx (1996) and Hendrickx & Estrada-Navarrete (1996) cover the species found in the southwestern Pacific coast of Baja California.
