Sesarmidae
The Sesarmidae are a family of crabs, previously included in the Grapsidae by many authors. Several species, namely in ''Geosesarma'', '' Metopaulias'', and '' Sesarma'', are true terrestrial crabs. They do not need to return to the sea even for breeding. Genera The family contains these genera: *''Aratus'' *'' Armases'' *'' Bresedium'' *'' Chiromantes'' *'' Clistocoeloma'' *'' Contusarma'' *'' Cristarma'' *'' Danarma'' *'' Episesarma'' *'' Fasciarma'' *''Geosesarma'' *'' Guinearma'' *'' Haberma'' *'' Karstarma'' *'' Labuanium'' *'' Leptarma'' *'' Manarma'' *'' Metagrapsus'' *'' Metasesarma'' *'' Metopaulias'' *'' Miersarma'' *'' Migmarma'' *'' Muradium'' *'' Namlacium'' *''Nanosesarma'' *'' Neosarmatium'' *'' Neosesarma'' *'' Orisarma'' *'' Parasesarma'' *''Perisesarma'' *'' Platychirarma'' *'' Pseudosesarma'' *'' Sarmatium'' *'' Scandarma'' *''Selatium'' *'' Sesarma'' *'' Sesarmoides'' *''Sesarmops'' *'' Stelgistra'' *'' Tiomanum'' *'' T ...

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 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 i ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean is the third-largest of the world's five oceanic divisions, covering or ~19.8% of the water on Earth's surface. It is bounded by Asia to the north, Africa to the west and Australia to the east. To the south it is bounded by the Southern Ocean or Antarctica, depending on the definition in use. Along its core, the Indian Ocean has some large marginal or regional seas such as the Arabian Sea, Laccadive Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Andaman Sea. Etymology The Indian Ocean has been known by its present name since at least 1515 when the Latin form ''Oceanus Orientalis Indicus'' ("Indian Eastern Ocean") is attested, named after India, which projects into it. It was earlier known as the ''Eastern Ocean'', a term that was still in use during the mid-18th century (see map), as opposed to the ''Western Ocean'' ( Atlantic) before the Pacific was surmised. Conversely, Chinese explorers in the Indian Ocean during the 15th century called it the Western Oceans. In Anci ...

Grapsoidea
The Grapsoidea are a superfamily of crabs; they are well known and contain many taxa which are terrestrial (land-living), semiterrestrial (taking to the sea only for reproduction), or limnic (living in fresh water). Another well-known member with a more conventional lifestyle is the Chinese mitten crab, ''Eriocheir sinensis''. The delimitation of the Grapsidae and Plagusiidae is in need of revision; the latter at least is not monophyletic. The same apparently holds true for several genera in the Sesarmidae. The closest living relatives of the Grapsoidea are the Ocypodoidea. In fact, they seem to be paraphyletic In taxonomy (general), taxonomy, a group is paraphyletic if it consists of the group's most recent common ancestor, last common ancestor and most of its descendants, excluding a few Monophyly, monophyletic subgroups. The group is said to be pa ... with respect to each other and it seems warranted to merge the Ocypodoidea into the Grapsoidea. References Extern ...
