Anaspides is a genus of freshwater crustaceans in the family Anaspidesidae. The genus was first described in 1894 by George Malcolm Thomson. The genus was originally placed in the family, Anaspididae by Thomson, but this genus name was preoccupied by the insect genus, Anaspis Geoffroy, 1762, and therefore, in 2017, the family was renamed Anaspidesidae by Shane Ahyong and Miguel A. Alonso-Zarazaga.
Galathea strigosa is a species of squat lobster in the family Galatheidae. It is found in the northeast Atlantic Ocean, from the Nordkapp to the Canary Islands, and in the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea. It is edible, but not fished commercially. It is the largest squat lobster in the northeast Atlantic, reaching a length of 90 millimetres (3.5 in), or a carapace length of 53 mm (2.1 in), and is easily identified by the transverse blue stripes across the body.
Trapeziidae is a family of crabs, commonly known as coral crabs. All the species in the family are found in a close symbiosis with cnidarians. They are found across the Indo-Pacific, and can best be identified to the species level by the colour patterns they display. Members of the family Tetraliidae were previously included in the Trapeziidae, but the similarities between the taxa is the result of convergent evolution.
Agononida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. In 2022, recognizing that the genus as then defined was paraphyletic, it was divided into three lineages: Agononidasensu stricto and two new genera, Garymunida and Hexamunida. Agononida is distributed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Shinkaia crosnieri is a species of squat lobster in a monotypic genus in the family Munidopsidae. S. crosnieri lives in deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems, living off of the chemosynthetic activity of certain bacteria living on its setae.
Garymunida procera is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae, and was first described by Shane Ahyong and Gary Poore in 2004. The specific name is derived from procerus, a Latin word meaning "slender", which is in reference to its slender cheliped that distinguish it from the similar Agononida soelae. The females measure from 14.3 to 21.4 millimetres. It is found off of Eastern Australia and New Caledonia and near the Lord Howe Rise, where it is found at depths from 450 to 960 metres.
Scolonida gracilis is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae.
Munida aequalis is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. It was first described in 2004 by Shane Ahyong and GartyPoore. The species name is derived from the Latin aequalis, meaning "like" or "same", referring to the similar size of the terminal spines of the basal antennular segment. It is found northwest of Tweed Heads, New South Wales to near Wooli, New South Wales, at depths between about 150 and 550 metres. The males are usually between 14.0 and 41.5 millimetres long, with the females being between about 19.1 and 28.5 millimetres long.
Acanthosquilla derijardi is a species of stomatopod crustacean. Its distribution is widespread throughout the Indo-West Pacific. The species was initially described by the American carcinologist Raymond B. Manning in 1970. Its junior synonym, A. sirindhorn, was named in 1995 in honor of Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand.
Neolithodes nipponensis is a species of king crab which is found in Japan and Taiwan. It has been found at depths from 200–1,752 metres (656–5,748 ft).

Alain raymondi is a species of crab in the Pinnotheridae family. It was first described in 2008 by Ahyong and Peter Ng. The species epithet, raymondi, honours Ray Manning.

Anaspides jarmani is a species of freshwater crustacean in the family Anaspidesidae, and was first described in 2015 by Shane Ahyong
Lithodes longispina is a species of king crab. It has been found in Japan and Taiwan. Before 2010, its reach was thought to be much greater than presently understood, such as Australia, New Zealand, and Guam. It has also allegedly been sighted in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
Anaspides driesseni is a species of freshwater crustacean in the family Anaspidesidae, and was first described in 2023 by Christoph Höpel, Stefan Richter & Shane Ahyong. In 2016 Ahyong discussed three morphologically different forms of A. swaini occurring in three different drainage systems.
