Description[edit]
Harpiliopsis, meaning "harp-like form," is a genus[3] of small shrimp belonging to the family Palaemonidae. They're known as flattened coral shrimp due to their laterally compressed bodies, adapted for life in coral reefs and crevices.[citation needed]

The genus name "Harpiliopsis" has its etymological roots in Greek. The term is a combination of two Greek words:
- Harpilos (ἁρπυλίς): This word in Greek refers to a harpy or a mythical creature with the body of a bird and the face of a woman. Harpies were often depicted as wind spirits and were associated with stormy weather.
- -opsis (-οπσις): The suffix "-opsis" is of Greek origin and is commonly used in taxonomy to indicate resemblance or appearance. In the context of genus names in biology, it often implies a similarity or likeness to another organism or group.
