Corystidae is a family of crabs, in its own superfamily, Corystoidea. It includes what was once thought to be the oldest Eubrachyuran fossil, Hebertides jurassica , thought to be dating from the Bathonian (Middle Jurassic); ^[1] the species was subsequently reinterpreted as being Cenozoic in age. ^[2] Corystidae contains ten extant and five extinct species in eight genera: ^[3]
