Ingolfiellida

Ingolfiellida is an order of Peracaridan crustaceans, containing one suborder, Ingolfiellidea; both of these are monotypic, containing just one subordinate group. Subordinate to these is infraorder Ingolfiellidamorpha.

The two families, Ingolfiellidae and Metaingolfiellidae, are each considered to belong to their own monotypic parvorders and superfamilies. Over 30 species are known from the two families. These animals are small, vermiform (worm-like) crustaceans that live "in the soft mud of the deep-sea floor, as well as in high mountain freshwater riverbeds, or in subterranean fresh, brackish, and marine interstitial waters of continental ground waters and continental shelves".
