Family Ogyrididae Holthuis, 1955

Although uncommon in California, the longeye shrimps, family Ogyrididae , are unmistakable. Their most outstanding features are the long, slender eyestalks. Like the processids, they have the carpus of the second pereopods subdivided into many articles. The first pereopods are chelate, but about equal in size with the other pereopods. Species of the Ogyrididae are found in sand or mud near shore and on the continental shelf.
