Munida is the largest genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae, [1] with over 240 species. [2]
King crabs are a taxon of decapod crustaceans chiefly found in cold seas. Because of their large size and the taste of their meat, many species are widely caught and sold as food, the most common being the red king crab.
The Paguridae are a family of hermit crabs of the order Decapoda. This family contains 542 species in over 70 genera:
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.
Paguristes is a genus of hermit crab in the family Diogenidae. It includes the following species :
Galathea is one of the largest genera of squat lobsters, containing 70 currently recognised species. Most species of Galathea live in shallow waters.
Paralomis is a genus of king crabs. It includes the following species:
Munidopsis is a genus of squat lobster. It is the second largest of all the genera of squat lobsters, after Munida, with over 200 species. Its members are mainly found on continental slopes and on abyssal plains. A few fossil species are also known, including specimens from the Campanian (Cretaceous).
Eumunida is a genus of squat lobsters. There are 29 recognised species in the genus, the majority of which are from the Pacific Ocean:
Gastroptychus is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Chirostylidae, containing the following species:
Uroptychus is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Chirostylidae found across the Indo-Pacific. The genus Uroptychus contains the following species:
Agononida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae, containing the following species:
Babamunida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae, containing the following species:
Galacantha is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munidopsidae, containing the following species:
Paramunida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae, containing the following species:
Plesionida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. As of 2017, it contains the following species:
Torbenella is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae, containing 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.
Nephropsis is a genus of lobsters containing 15 extant species:
The Munididae are a family of squat lobsters, taxonomically separated from the family Galatheidae in 2010.
