Pinnotheres is a genus of crabs, including the pea crab. Many species formerly in Pinnotheres have been placed in new genera, such as Zaops ostreus, the oyster crab and Nepinnotheres novaezelandiae, the New Zealand pea crab. The species currently recognised in the genus Pinnotheres are:
The Ocypodoidea, or ocypoid crabs, are a superfamily of crabs, named after the genus Ocypode. It contains over 300 extant species in these eight families:
Chaenostoma cordatum, also known by the names bacopa or ornamental bacopa, is one of 52 species in the genus Chaenostoma (Scrophulariaceae), and is best known in its cultivated forms. It originated in Southern Africa, and is a tender perennial forming a ground cover, but often used in hanging baskets. Small dark green heart shaped leaves and small round five-petaled blue, pink, or white flowers at the branch tips can be found year-round, but at its prime in spring.
Macrophthalmus is a genus of crabs which are widespread across the Indo-Pacific. It contains the following species :
Petrolisthes is a genus of marine porcelain crabs, containing these extant species:
Pagurus is a genus of hermit crabs in the family Paguridae. Like other hermit crabs, their abdomen is not calcified and they use snail shells as protection. These marine decapod crustaceans are omnivorous, but mostly prey on small animals and scavenge carrion. Trigonocheirus and Pagurixus used to be considered subgenera of Pagurus, but the former is nowadays included in Orthopagurus, while the latter has been separated as a distinct genus.
Caecum is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod micromolluscs or micromollusks in the family Caecidae or blind shells.
Galathea is one of the largest genera of squat lobsters, containing 70 currently recognised species. Most species of Galathea live in shallow waters.
The Dotillidae are a family of crabs with 59 species, nearly half of which are in the genus Ilyoplax. The two genera Scopimera and Dotilla are collectively the sand bubbler crabs, which leave conspicuous collections of sand pellets on sandy beaches across the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific.
Meioceras is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Caecidae.
Pisidia is a genus of marine porcelain crabs, comprising the following species:
The Galatheoidea are a superfamily of decapod crustaceans comprising the porcelain crabs and some squat lobsters. Squat lobsters within the three families of the superfamily Chirostyloidea are not closely related to the squat lobsters within the Galatheoidea. The fossil record of the superfamily extends back to the Middle Jurassic genus Palaeomunidopsis.
Leucosiidae is a family of crabs containing three subfamilies and a number of genera incertae sedis:
Lachnopodus is a genus of crabs in the family Xanthidae, containing the following species:
Pseudograpsus is a genus of crabs, containing the following species:
Pseudodromia is a genus of crabs in the family Dromiidae, often referred to as sponge crabs. They are small or medium-sized crabs which get their name from the ability to shape a living sponge into a portable shelter for themselves. A sponge crab cuts out a fragment from a sponge and trims it to its own shape using its claws. The last two pairs of legs are shorter than other legs and bend upward over the crab's carapace, to hold the sponge in place. The sponge grows along with the crab, providing a consistent shelter.
Moreiradromia is a genus of sponge crabs in the family Dromiidae.
Cochliolepis is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Tornidae.
Pachycheles is a genus of porcelain crabs in the family Porcellanidae. There are more than 40 described species in Pachycheles.
Chaenostoma is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Scrophulariaceae.
