Cancroidea is a superfamily of crabs, comprising the families Atelecyclidae and Cancridae. ^[1] Four other families have been separated into new superfamilies: Cheiragonidae into Cheiragonoidea, Corystidae into Corystoidea, and both Pirimelidae and Thiidae into Portunoidea. ^[2] Montezumellidae has been moved from Cancroidea to his own Superfamily Montezumelloidea. ^[3]
