A family of small aquatic crustaceans commonly found in freshwater environments, known for their simple body structure and ecological significance.
A taxonomic family name derived from Chloridella (the genus name) with the standard Latin family suffix -idae, following Linnaean biological classification conventions established in the 18th century.
This family includes some of the oldest crustacean lineages still living today, making them living fossils that have barely changed in over 300 million years of evolution.
