Resumen:
Partial mitochondrial DNA sequences were analyzed to reconstruct the phylogeny of Superfamily Penaeoidea. In addition to 11 new 16S rRNA sequences generated for this study, 18 previously reported sequences (including 3 outgroups) were examined. The phylogenetic relationships estimated through maximum likelihood and neighbor joining methods supported the monophyly of the Superfamily Penaeoidea. Other findings, challenge our current classification schemes of the superfamily, and are presented as hypothesis for future work: the paraphyly of Penaeidae family and its close relationship to Solenoceridae; the close association between Aristeidae, Benthesicymidae and Sicyioniidae questions their erection as separated families.
