Penaeoidea is the larger of the two superfamilies of prawns. It comprises eight families, three of which are known only from fossils.[1][2] The fossil record of the group stretches back to Aciculopoda, discovered in Famennian sediments in Oklahoma.[2]
- † Aciculopodidae (1 genus, 1 species)
- † Aegeridae (2 genera, 25 species)
- Aristeidae (10 genera, 28 species)
- Benthesicymidae (5 genera, 43 species)
- † Carpopenaeidae (1 genus, 3 species)
