Mictacea is a monotypic order of crustaceans. It was originally erected for three species of small shrimp-like animals of the deep sea and anchialine caves.[2] They were placed in two families, the Mictocarididae and Hirsutiidae,[1][2] but Hirsutiidae is now placed in order Bochusacea,[3] leaving Mictacea with a single species, Mictocaris halope.[4]
