Pseudothelphusidae
Pseudothelphusidae is a family of freshwater crabs found chiefly in mountain streams in the Neotropics. They are believed to have originated in the Greater Antilles and then crossed to Central America via a Pliocene land bridge. Parasitology Pseudothelpshusids are of significance to humans because many species are secondary hosts for lung flukes of the genus ''Paragonimus''. Predators of pseuthelphusid crabs include the yellow-spotted river turtle and the tufted capuchin.

Guinotia Dentata
''Guinotia dentata'', commonly known as ''cyrique'', is a West Indian species of freshwater crab in the family Pseudothelphusidae. They have few predators. They are easily caught and thus are used locally as a food source. Description ''Guinotia dentata'' is almost oval in shape and the teeth on its carapace are very small. It is a yellow-brown colour and its shell can grow to long; it is about 3/5 long as wide. The eyestalks are yellow whilst the corneas are black, but they are probably best identifiable by their large yellow claws with straight sharply pointed fingers. The species sometimes has almost an entire dorsal surface of carapace yellow with submarginal brown. Chace & Hobbs (1969), pp. 156–160. Its shell has a cervical meandering curve which does not quite touch the edge of the shell. About 24 cubicles are well defined. The forehead is low, excavated and depressed and of uniform height. Its pereiopods are fairly average and its chelae are without prominent, swolle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Eudaniela species live in freshwater streams and rivers at a high altitude above sea level. On Tobago, the Eudaniela Garmani crab constructs burrows or hides in naturally occurring crevices near fast-flowing streams. Owing to the nature of the terrain surrounding these streams, the Eudaniela Garmani crabs are less likely to be observed creating thei ...
