<i>Alpheus</i> (crustacean) Genus of crustaceans

Alpheus is a genus of snapping shrimp of the family Alpheidae. This genus contains in excess of 330 species, making this the most species-rich genus of shrimp. Like other snapping shrimp, the claws of Alpheus are asymmetrical, with one of the claws enlarged for making a popping noise. Some species in the genus enter into symbiotic relationships with gobiid fishes, and others associate with sea anemones.

<i>Macrophthalmus</i> Genus of crabs

Macrophthalmus is a genus of crabs which are widespread across the Indo-Pacific. It contains the following species :

Petrolisthes is a genus of marine porcelain crabs, containing these extant species:

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Upogebiidae</span> Family of crustaceans

Upogebiidae is a family of mud shrimp crustaceans belonging to the infraorder Gebiidea, within the order Decapoda. They are infauna, living their entire adult lives in seafloor burrows. Over 100 species have been identified, with different species often highly specialized for different types of substrate, even including sea sponges or coral. They are filter feeders, although some species also deposit feed.

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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Palaemonidae</span> Family of shrimp

Palaemonidae is a family of shrimp in the order Decapoda. Many species are carnivores that eat small invertebrates, and can be found in any aquatic habitat except the deep sea. One significant genus is Macrobrachium, which contains commercially fished species. Others inhabit coral reefs, where they associate with certain invertebrates, such as sponges, cnidarians, mollusks, and echinoderms, as cleaner shrimps, parasites, or commensals. They generally feed on detritus, though some are carnivores and hunt tiny animals.

<i>Pestarella</i> Genus of crustaceans

Pestarella is a genus of thalassinidean crustacean erected in 2003 from former members of the genus Callianassa. It is distinguished from Callianassa by the rounded, rather than squarish telson, and by the absence of the first two pleopods in males. The genus contains the following species:

<i>Galathea</i> Genus of crustaceans

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 70 species. Most species of Galathea live in shallow waters.

<i>Munida</i> Genus of crustaceans

Munida is the largest genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae, with over 240 species.

<i>Macrobrachium</i> Genus of crustaceans

Macrobrachium is a genus of freshwater prawns or shrimps characterised by the extreme enlargement of the second pair of pereiopods, at least in the male.

<i>Uroptychus</i> Genus of crustaceans

Uroptychus is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Chirostylidae found across the Indo-Pacific. The genus Uroptychus contains the following species:

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Galatheoidea</span> Superfamily of crustaceans

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.

<i>Pilumnus</i> (crab) Genus of crabs

Pilumnus is a genus of crabs, containing the following species:

<i>Achaeus</i> (crab) Genus of crabs

Achaeus is a genus of crabs comprising the following species:

<i>Hyastenus</i> Genus of crabs

Hyastenus is a genus of crabs in the family Epialtidae, subfamily Pisinae, containing the following extant species:

<i>Acanthaxius</i> Genus of crustaceans

Acanthaxius is a genus of mud lobster native to the Indo-Pacific oceans. It has a slender rostrum which is longer than the eyestalks, is spinose and has seven spines and has a depth range of 228–438 metres (748–1,437 ft).

Austin Beatty Williams was an American carcinologist, "the acknowledged expert on and leader in studies of the systematics of eastern American decapod crustaceans".

<i>Callichirus</i> Genus of crustaceans

Callichirus is a genus of crustaceans belonging to the family Callianassidae. It was circumscribed by William Stimpson in 1866.

<i>Periclimenaeus</i> Genus of crustaceans

Periclimenaeus is a genus of decapod crustaceans of the family Palaemonidae which is part of the infraorder Caridea. The genus was named by the English carcinologist Lancelot Alexander Borradaile in 1915. He set out the distinguishing features of the genus as:

Body rather stout, cephalothorax deep, a good deal compressed, abdomen greatly curved Thorax without dorsal swelling. Rostrum rather short, compressed, toothed above only. Outer antennular flagellum not deeply cleft. Antennal scale of good breadth. Mandible without palp. Second maxilliped without podopalp. Third maxilliped narrow, with vestigial arthrobranch.
