On this scheme, the members of the Pleocyemate infraorder Caridea are regarded as the "true shrimps", while the members of the Dendrobranchiate infraorder Penaeoida are referred to as "penaeid shrimps".
The usage of the common name "shrimp" also varies: zoologically, all crustaceans belonging to Natantia (or to a corresponding list of families) are called shrimps, but in common usage, especially in relation to cooking, some of the large ones are known as prawns.

The rest of the shrimps belong to a different suborder, the Pleocyemata; Natantia may serve as the name for an infraorder within this, though the name Caridea occurs more frequenly.
