Galatheid

	Galatheid 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''. Classification These families and genera are included: ;Galatheidae Samouelle, 1819 † ''Acanthogalathea'' Müller & Collins, 1991 – Upper Eocene ''Alainius'' Baba, 1991 * ''Allogalathea'' Baba, 1969 * '' Allomunida'' Baba, 1988 * ''Coralliogalathea'' Baba & Javed, 1974 * ''Fennerogalathea'' Baba, 1988 * ''Galathea'' Fabricius, 1793 * ''Janetogalathea'' Baba & Wicksten, 1997 * ''Lauriea'' Baba, 1971 † '' Lessinigalathea'' De Angeli & Garassino, 2002 – Lower Eocene † '' Lophoraninella'' Glaessner, 1945 – Upper Cretaceous † '' Luisogalathea'' Karasawa & Hayakawa, 2000 – Upper Cretaceous '' Macrothea ...

picture info	Squat Lobster Squat lobsters are dorsoventrally flattened crustaceans with long tails held curled beneath the cephalothorax. They are found in the two superfamilies Galatheoidea and Chirostyloidea, which form part of the decapod infraorder Anomura, alongside groups including the hermit crabs and mole crabs. They are distributed worldwide in the oceans, and occur from near the surface to deep sea hydrothermal vents, with one species occupying caves above sea level. More than 900 species have been described, in around 60 genera. Some species form dense aggregations, either on the sea floor or in the water column, and a small number are commercially fished. Description The two main groups of squat lobsters share most features of their morphology. They resemble true lobsters in some ways, but are somewhat flattened dorsoventrally, and are typically smaller. Squat lobsters vary in carapace length (measured from the eye socket to the rear edge), from in the case of ''Munidopsis aries'', down to o ...

	Munidopsis Tridentata ''Munidopsis serricornis'' is a species of squat lobster. It is widely distributed in the world's oceans, being found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean (from Iceland and Norway to the Cape Verde Islands), the western Atlantic Ocean (from the United States to the Gulf of Mexico), and the Indo-Pacific (from Australia and the Malay Archipelago to Madagascar). It grows up to a carapace length of . ''M. serricornis'' appears to be one of the most abundant megafauna species in the cold water coral reefs of southern Norway. It has also been observed in association with the gorgonian ''Acanthogorgia''. ''M. serricornis'' was the first species of the current genus ''Munidopsis'' to be described, when Sven Lovén Sven (in Danish and Norwegian, also Svend and also in Norwegian most commonly Svein) is a Scandinavian first name which is also used in the Low Countries and German-speaking countries.

	Munididae The Munididae are a family of squat lobsters, taxonomically separated from the family Galatheidae in 2010. Description and ecology The squat lobsters in the family Munididae can be distinguished from other families by the presence of a trispinose frontal edge to the carapace, as well as a central rostrum, and two spines extend forward from above the eyes. Although a few species enter shallow water, the majority of species in the Munididae are deep-water taxa, in contrast to the mostly shallow-water Galatheidae.
