Uroptychus is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Chirostylidae found across the Indo-Pacific. [1] The genus Uroptychus contains the following species: [2]
Galathea is one of the largest genera of squat lobsters, containing 70 currently recognised species. Most species of Galathea live in shallow waters.
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.
Hapaloptyx difficilis is a species of squat lobster in a monotypic genus in the family Chirostylidae.
Chirostylus is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Chirostylidae, containing the following species:
Gastroptychus is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Chirostylidae, containing the following species:
Pseudomunida fragilis is a species of squat lobster in a monotypic genus in the family Chirostylidae.

Plesionida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. As of 2017, it contains the following species:
Pleuroncodes is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae, containing the following species:
Torbenella is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae, containing the following species:
Chirostyloidea is an anomuran superfamily with squat lobster-like representatives. It comprises the three families Chirostylidae, Eumunididae and Kiwaidae. Although representatives of Chirostyloidea are superficially similar to galatheoid squat lobsters, they are more closely related to Lomisoidea and Aegloidea together forming the clade Australopoda. No fossils can be confidently assigned to the Chirostyloidea, although Pristinaspina may belong either in the family Kiwaidae or Chirostylidae.
