) which are close associates of deep-sea holothurians. Both families are callynophorate amphipods, both have curved dentate incisors, triturating molars, marginal setae along the inner plate of maxilla 1, elongate ischium on gnathopod 2, equilobate coxa on pereopod 5, no robust apical setae on uropods 1 and 2 and deeply cleft telsons. However valettids do not have an oblique setal row on the inner plate of maxilla 2, the outer maxillipedal plate does not have apical robust or slender setae and the telson is shorter and bears no setae.

Both have uropods 1 and 2 without apical robust setae, deeply cleft telsons, elongate ischia on the second gnathopods with rectolinear carpi and propodi, a lacinia mobilis on both mandibles, inner plates of maxillae 1 with setae along the medial margins and rami of third uropods longer than the peduncles. But among other differences the miramarassids apparently have no callynophore nor posteroventral lobe on the pereopod 4 coxa and the structure of the antenna 1 peduncular articles are different.
