Ochlesidae is a family of amphipods. They are very small, often less than 1.5 millimetres (0.06 in) long, and are found mainly in tropical and subtropical areas of the Southern Hemisphere.[1] The family Odiidae has sometimes been subsumed into Ochlesidae.[1]
Four genera are included in the family:[1]
- Thomas, 1983
- Barnard & Karaman, 1987
- Stebbing, 1910
- Ledoyer, 1982
