Hippolytidae is a family of cleaner shrimp, also known as broken-back shrimp or anemone shrimp. The term "broken-back shrimp" also applies to the genus Hippolyte in particular and "cleaner shrimp" is sometimes applied exclusively to Lysmata amboinensis.
Genera
There are 36 recognised genera in the family:[1]
- Alcyonohippolyte Marin, Okuno & Chan, 2011
- Alope White, 1847
- Bathyhippolyte Hayashi & Miyake, 1970
- Birulia Bražnikov, 1903
- Calliasmata Holthuis, 1973
- Caridion Goës, 1864
- Chorismus Bate, 1888
- Cryptocheles Sars, 1870
- Eualus Thallwitz, 1892
- Eumanningia Crosnier, 2000
- Exhippolysmata Stebbing, 1915
- Gelastocaris Kemp, 1914
- Gelastreutes Bruce, 1990
- Hippolyte Leach, 1814
- Leontocaris Stebbing, 1905
- Merhippolyte Bate, 1888
- Mimocaris Nobili, 1903
- Nauticaris Bate, 1888
- Paralatreutes Kemp, 1925
- Paralebbeus Bruce & Chace, 1986
- Phycocaris Kemp, 1916
- Thinora Bruce, 1998
- Thorella Bruce, 1982

Morphological and genetic studies have recovered Hippolyte polyphyletic, prompting the recognition of Bythocariidae, Lysmatidae, Merguiidae, and Thoridae.[2][3]
