Remipedia is a class of blind crustaceans found in coastal aquifers which contain saline groundwater with populations identified in almost every ocean basin so far explored including in Australia the Caribbean Sea the Atlantic Ocean. The first described remipede was the fossil Tesnusocaris goldichi (Lower Pennsylvanian) but since 1979 at least seventeen living species have been identified with global distribution throughout the neo-tropical zone.
