Paragiopagurus is a genus of hermit crabs in the family Parapaguridae, that contains 25 species. [1] Members of this genus live at depths from 116 to 2,067 meters. [2]
Reef lobsters, Enoplometopus, are a genus of small lobsters that live on reefs in the Indo-Pacific, Caribbean and warmer parts of the Atlantic Ocean.
Callianassa is a genus of mud shrimps, in the family Callianassidae. Three of the species in this genus have been split off into a new genus, Pestarella, while others such as Callianassa filholi have been moved to Biffarius. The genus is named after the Nereid of the Greco-Roman mythology.
The Paguridae are a family of hermit crabs of the order Decapoda. The king crabs, Lithodidae, are now widely understood to be derived from deep within the Paguridae, with some authors placing their ancestors within the genus Pagurus.
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.
Palaemon is a genus of caridean shrimp in the family Palaemonidae.
Calcinus is a genus of hermit crabs in the family Diogenidae, containing the following species:
The Parapaguridae are a family of marine hermit crabs from deep waters. Instead of carrying empty gastropod shells like other hermit crabs, they carry colonies of dozen or more sea anemones or zoanthids. Some genera, such as Bivalvopagurus and Tylaspis, do not inhabit shells. The following genera are included:
Paguristes is a genus of hermit crab in the family Diogenidae. 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).
Munida is the largest genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae, with over 240 species.
Babamunida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. The genus occurs in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, with the greatest diversity in the Pacific.
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.
Cancellus is a genus of hermit crabs in the family Diogenidae. Members of this genus are most commonly found living in small crevices in the outer continental shelf at mesophotic depths. They can be found living in rocks, sponges, and algae among other places. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution. Four species are known from the western Atlantic.
Oncopagurus, is a genus of marine hermit crabs in the family Parapaguridae, which contains 25 species. Members of this genus live from 40 to 2,308 meters below the surface.
Solenocera is a genus of prawns in the family Solenoceridae. Solenocera occur from 0 to 2,067 meters deep in the ocean.
Pseudopaguristes is a genus of hermit crabs in the family Diogenidae.
Paragiopagurus wallisi is a species of hermit crab in the family Parapaguridae. It lives in the Eastern Pacific, in areas like the French Polynesia, Sala y Gómez, and the Nazca Ridges in benthic environments from 200 to 300 meters deep.
Heterocyathus is a genus of coral of the family Caryophylliidae.
Xylopagurus is a genus of hermit crabs within the family Xylopaguridae. There are currently 4 species assigned to the genus.
