Moreiradromia is a genus of sponge crabs in the family Dromiidae. [1]
Species within this genus include:
The Ocypodoidea, or ocypoid crabs, are a superfamily of crabs, named after the genus Ocypode. It contains the following families:
Clibanarius is a genus of hermit crabs in the family Diogenidae. Like other hermit crabs, their abdomen is soft-shelled and sheltered in a gastropod shell. Typically marine like all their relatives, the genus includes C. fonticola, the only known hermit crab species that spends all its life in freshwater. The feeding rates of Clibanarius species change with temperature which, given their broad distributions, may have considerable consequences for the stability reef systems as sea temperatures rise in the future.
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 a genus of squat lobsters in the family Galatheidae. It is one of the largest genera of squat lobsters that in 2008 contained 73 species. Most species of Galathea live in shallow waters.
Doris is a genus of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs. These animals are marine gastropod molluscs in the family Dorididae.
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:
Osachila is a genus of crabs in the family Aethridae, containing three fossil species, and the following extant 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:
Pseudograpsus is a genus of crabs, containing the following species:
Microphrys is a genus of crab in the family Majidae, containing the following species:.
Moreiradromia antillensis is a species of decapods in the family sponge crab. This species lives in the Western and central Atlantic Ocean.
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 crabs belonging to the family Macrophthalmidae.
Cerebratulus is a genus of nemerteans belonging to the family Lineidae.
Petrochirus is a genus of hermit crabs of the family Diogenidae. There are seven described species of the genus. The genus was described by William Stimpson in 1858.
