Ampeliscidae er en av i alt 59 familier innenfor den relativt store og artsrike underordenen Gammaridea av amfipoder.J.L. Barnard og G.S. Karaman, «The families and genera of marine gammaridean Amphipoda (except marine gammaroids)», Part 2. Rec. Australian Museum, tilleggsnummer 13(2), 1991, side 419–866. Gruppens arter er bentiske bunndyr. Artene har små øyne, til forskjell fra gruppen Hyperiidea hvor artene har større øyne og er frittsvevende planktoniske.
Familien har mellom 305 og 315 arter, fordelt på 4 slekter, og alle slektene har et betydelig antall arter.
Gruppens taksonomi Gruppen Gammaridea har gjennomgått en betydelig revisjon av sin systematiske plassering og sammensetning. Taksonomien til krepsdyrene er generelt komplisert og usikker. En moderne oppdatering av systematikken gis nedenfor i lys av 2013-revisjonen med basis i WoRMS-databasen. - WoRMS. Besøkt 16. august 2016.
