Heteromysis (from Greek heteros meaning ‘different’, and mysis, a genus name Mysis) is a genus of marine mysid crustaceans (opossum shrimps) from the family Mysidae, associated with various shallow-water invertebrates. The name describes differentiation of its pereiopods (thoracic appendages) as possible adaptation to commensal life-style.

Mysis relicta. Some species are benthic (living on the seabed) and others pelagic (living in mid-water), but most are found close to, crawling on or burrowing into the mud or sand. Most marine species are benthic by day but leave the seabed at night to become planktonic. Locomotion is mostly by swimming, the pleopods being used for this purpose.

Mysis is a small, transparent, shrimp-like crustacean less than 25 mm (1 in) in length.It has two pairs of relatively long antennae, associated with rounded antennal plates; large, stalked compound eyes; the thorax covered by a coat-like carapace; a muscular, cylindrical abdomen; and a tail fan featuring a telson with a V-shaped terminal cleft.
Members of the family Mysidae are distinguished from other mysids by the fact that the first pereopod (walking leg) has a well-developed exopod (outer branch), the carpopropodus of the endopod (inner branch) of the 3rd to 8th pereopods is divided into sub-segments and there are statocysts on the endopod of the uropods (posterior appendages).
