Calappa (crab)
''Calappa'' is a genus of crabs known commonly as box crabs or shame-faced crabs. The name ''box crab'' comes from their distinctly bulky carapace, and the name ''shame-faced'' is from anthropomorphism, anthropomorphising the way the crab's chela (organ), chelae (claws) fold up and cover its face, as if it were hiding its face in shame.
