Alpheus

Alpheus é un xénero de crustáceos malacostráceos decápodos carideos, o tipo da familia dos alfeidos.

Como nas outras especies da familia, as pinzas son asimétricas, cunha delas máis desenvolvidas o que fai que, cando se pechan, producen un tipico estoupido.

Algunhas especies do xénero establecen relacións simbióticas con peixes da familia dos gobíidos.

 Taxonomía 
O xénero foi establecido en 1798 por J. C. Fabricius na súa obra Entomologia Systematica emendata et aucta, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species adjectis synonimis locis observationibus descriptionibus. Hafniae, Tom. II. Supplementum Entomologiae Systematicae, editada en Copenhaguen, describindo a especie Alpheus avarus Fabricius, 1798 como a "tipo" do xénero.Alpheus Fabricius, 1798 no WoRMS.
