Limnoriidea
Gribbles and allies
Limnoriidea is a suborder of marine isopod crustaceans containing three families: Hadromastacidae, Keuphyliidae, and Limnoriidae. Members are commonly known as gribbles and allies. The group is distinguished by wood-boring habits in many species, particularly within Limnoriidae. They are exclusively marine and play a significant role in coastal ecosystems through wood decomposition.
