Eriocheir is a genus of crabs, including the Chinese mitten crab, E. sinensis. Formerly in the family Grapsidae, it is now placed in the Varunidae.
Mictyris is a genus of brightly coloured crabs, placed in its own taxonomical family, the Mictyridae. It inhabits the central Indo-West Pacific region. These crabs congregate on mud flats or beaches in groups of a few thousand, and filter sand or mud for microscopic organisms. They congregate during low tide, and bury themselves in the sand during high tide or whenever they are threatened. This is done in wet sand, and they dig in a corkscrew pattern, leaving many small round pellets of sand behind them.
Cronius is a genus of crabs containing the two species Cronius ruber and Cronius tumidulus.
Maja brachydactyla is a species of crab in the family Majidae. It was initially described as a subspecies of M. squinado. A review of the species complex published in 1998 was able to differentiate between specimens from the Mediterranean Sea and those from the Atlantic Ocean, and concluded that the Atlantic specimens were a separate species, accepted as M. brachydactyla Balss, 1922.
The stalk-eyed mud crab is a marine large-eyed crab of the family Macrophthalmidae, endemic to New Zealand including Campbell Island. It grows to around 30 millimetres (1.2 in) shell width. It is either the only species in the subgenus Hemiplax and the most basal species in the genus Macrophthalmus, or the only species in the sister genus Hemiplax.
Cancridae is a family of crabs. It comprises six extant genera, and ten exclusively fossil genera, in two subfamilies:
Xanthoidea is a superfamily of crabs, comprising seven families. Formerly, a number of other families were included in Xanthoidea, but many of these have since been removed to other superfamilies. These include Carpilioidea, Eriphioidea, Hexapodoidea, Pilumnoidea and Trapezioidea. Even in this reduced state, Xanthoidea remains one of the most species-rich superfamilies of crabs.
Epigrapsus is genus of terrestrial crabs. The two species are omnivores.
Liocarcinus navigator is a species of crab in the family Portunidae.
Xantho is a genus of crabs in the family Xanthidae, containing five extant species, all restricted to the north-east Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, although Xantho granulicarpis is not universally recognised as a separate species from Xantho hydrophilus:
Forestia is a genus of crabs in the family Xanthidae, containing the following species:
Gaillardiellus is a genus of crabs in the family Xanthidae, containing the following species:
Paractaeopsis quadriareolata is a species of crabs in the family Xanthidae, the only species in the genus Paractaeopsis.
Rata is a genus of crabs in the family Xanthidae, containing the following species:
Danielea moelensis is a species of crab in the family Xanthidae, and the only species in the genus Danielea.
Melybia thalamita is a species of crab in the family Xanthidae, the only species in the genus Melybia. It is found in the western Atlantic Ocean, from Florida and the Gulf of Mexico south to São Paulo, Brazil, at depths of 10–200 metres (33–656 ft).
Eriphiidae is a family of crabs, now comprising two genera:
Goneplax is a genus of crabs, containing the following extant species:
Heikeopsis is a genus of crabs containing two species, Heikeopsis japonica and Heikeopsis arachnoides. The genus was originally described under the name "Heikea" by Lipke Holthuis and Raymond B. Manning in 1990, but was later determined to be a junior homonym of the gastropod genus Heikea, erected by Orvar Isberg in 1934.
Hirsutodynomene is a genus of crabs in the family Dynomenidae. All species in this genus except the newest one belonged to the genus Dynomene. These two genera form the subfamilia Dynomeninae. The type species of this genus is: Dynomene spinosaRathbun, 1911.
