Abstract
The order Cumacea belongs to the super-order Peracarida, subclass Malacostraca, class Crustacea, according to the classification of McLaughlin, 1980. The cumaceans are primarily marine bottom-dwelling burrowing crustaceans. They live on argillaceous sands, feed on detritus, and graze on sand grains or are filter feeders. The Cumacea, like all Peracarida, have an epimorphic larval development; eggs are laid and develop in the brood pouch. This stage is followed by the manca stage and a postlarval stage (McLaughlin, 1980).
