List species and varieties by family
Heterorhabdidae Sars, 1902 ( Arietelloidea )
Alrhabdus Grice, 1973
Rem.: Boxshall & Halsey (2004 (p.68, 126) transfer this genus to the Augaptilidae, however with some doubt as long as the male has not been encountered.
(1) Disseta Giesbrecht, 1889
Rem.: The species of this genus appear to feed mainly on particles by suspension feeding.

(3) Heterorhabdus Giesbrecht, 1898
Rem.: type: Heterorhabdus spinifrons.
For Vervoort, 1951 (p.140) thie genus Alloiorhabdus is based exclusively on the number of setae on the various segments of the swimming legs. It appears, however, that wolfenden’s observations are inaccurate as no differences in this respect exists between Heterorhabdus stricto sensu and the proposed genus Alloiorhabdus. The structure of the oral appendages in these genera too does not justify such a distinction.
Brodsky , 1950 (1967, p.345) establishes the 2 subgenera : Heterorhabdus (type: H. robustus) et Euheterorhabdus (types : H. papilliger & H. norvegicus.
Park establishes 4 groups ("spinifrons", "papilliger", "fistulosus", "abyssalis".
31 spp. (+ 4 doubtful).
The species of this genus appear typical carnivores preying upon copepodids, polychaetes, and othe rmacrozooplanktoners (see litt. in Ohtsuka & al., 1997).
