Vultocinidae
''Vultocinus anfractus'' is a species of crab, the only species in the family Vultocinidae. It has been found around the Philippines, Vanuatu and New Caledonia, and lives on driftwood. Its discovery forced a reappraisal of the relationships within the superfamily Goneplacoidea, and to the recognition of Mathildellidae Mathildellidae is family of crab Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting "tail" (abdomen) ( el, βραχύς , translit=brachys = short, / = tail), usually hidden entirely un ..., Conleyidae and Progeryonidae as separate families.

Crabs
Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting " tail" (abdomen) ( el, βραχύς , translit=brachys = short, / = tail), usually hidden entirely under the thorax. They live in all the world's oceans, in freshwater, and on land, are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, and have a single pair of pincers. They first appeared during the Jurassic Period. Description Crabs are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, composed primarily of highly mineralized chitin, and armed with a pair of chelae (claws). Crabs vary in size from the pea crab, a few millimeters wide, to the Japanese spider crab, with a leg span up to . Several other groups of crustaceans with similar appearances – such as king crabs and porcelain crabs – are not true crabs, but have evolved features similar to true crabs through a process known as carcinisation. Environment Crabs are found in all of the world's oceans, as well as in fresh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Goneplax Rhomboides
''Goneplax rhomboides'' is a species of crab. It is known by the common name angular crab because of its angular carapace. Although it is also called the ''square crab'', its shell is in fact more trapezoidal than square (or rhomboidal, as its scientific name might suggest). This species is also known as the '' mud-runner'' because they are able to run away quickly when threatened. Description ''Goneplax rhomboides'' is a relatively small (carapace up to in diameter), distinctive-looking crab that ranges from yellowish-white, to orange, too reddish to vivid pink in colour. It has a smooth, quadrangular, strongly convex carapace that is much broader than it is long. It has long, slender pereiopods with margins of propodus and dactylus bristles. It likewise has setae on its antennae and mouthparts. Females have short chelipeds but the chelipeds of males are long, with the merus portion of the claw considerably longer than the length of their carapaces. ''G. rhomboides'' has ofte ...
