Members of the suborder Valvifera are crustaceans resembling woodlice. Valviferans are distinguished, however, by the flat, valve-like uropods which hinge laterally and fold inward beneath the rear part of the body, covering the pleopods. Members of this group are almost exclusively marine. Some species are omnivorous, and serve as effective scavengers in the economy of the sea.
