Scyllarides
''Scyllarides'' is a genus of slipper lobsters. Characteristics ''Scyllarides'' is placed in the subfamily Arctidinae, which is differentiated from other subfamilies by the presence of multiarticulated exopods on all three maxillipeds, and a three-segmented palp on the mandible. The only other genus in the subfamily, '' Arctides'', is distinguished by having a more highly sculptured carapace, with an extra spine behind each eye, and a transverse groove on the first segment of the abdomen. Taxonomic history In 1849, Wilhem de Haan divided the genus '' Scyllarus'' into two genera, ''Scyllarus'' and ''Arctus'', but made the error of including the type species of ''Scyllarus'' in the genus ''Arctus''. This was first recognised by the ichthyologist Theodore Gill in 1898, who synonymised ''Arctus'' with ''Scyllarus'', and erected a new genus ''Scyllarides'' to hold the species that De Haan had placed in ''Scyllarus''.

Scyllarides Latus
''Scyllarides latus'', the Mediterranean slipper lobster, is a species of slipper lobster found in the Mediterranean Sea and in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It is edible and highly regarded as food, but is now rare over much of its range due to overfishing. Adults may grow to long, are camouflaged, and have no claws. They are nocturnal, emerging from caves and other shelters during the night to feed on molluscs. As well as being eaten by humans, ''S. latus'' is also preyed upon by a variety of bony fish. Its closest relative is '' S. herklotsii'', which occurs off the Atlantic coast of West Africa; other species of ''Scyllarides'' occur in the western Atlantic Ocean and the Indo-Pacific. The larvae and young animals are largely unknown. Distribution ''Scyllarus latus'' is found along most of the coast of the Mediterranean Sea (one exception being the northern Adriatic Sea), and in parts of the eastern Atlantic Ocean from near Lisbon in Portugal south to Senegal, includi ...

Slipper Lobster
Slipper lobsters are a family (Scyllaridae) of about 90 species of achelate crustaceans, in the Decapoda clade Reptantia, found in all warm oceans and seas. They are not true lobsters, but are more closely related to spiny lobsters and furry lobsters. Slipper lobsters are instantly recognisable by their enlarged antennae, which project forward from the head as wide plates. All the species of slipper lobsters are edible, and some, such as the Moreton Bay bug and the Balmain bug (''Ibacus peronii'') are of commercial importance. Description Slipper lobsters have six segments in their heads and eight segments in the thorax, which are collectively covered in a thick carapace. The six segments of the abdomen each bear a pair of pleopods, while the thoracic appendages are either walking legs or maxillipeds. The head segments bear various mouthparts and two pairs of antennae. The first antennae, or ''antennules'', are held on a long flexible stalk, and are used for sensing the env ...

Achelata
The Achelata is an infra-order of the decapod crustaceans, holding the spiny lobsters, slipper lobsters and their fossil relatives. Description The name "Achelata" derives from the fact that all the members of this group lack the chelae (claws) that are found on almost all other decapods (from the Ancient Greek , = "not", , = "claw"). They are further united by the great enlargement of the second antennae, by the special "phyllosoma" form of the larva, and by a number of other characters. Classification and fossil record The infraorder Achelata belongs to the group Reptantia, which consists of the walking/crawling decapods (lobsters and crabs). The cladogram below shows Achelata's placement within the larger order Decapoda, from analysis by Wolfe ''et al.'', 2019. Achelata contains the spiny lobsters (Palinuridae), the slipper lobsters (Scyllaridae) and the furry lobsters (Synaxidae, now usually included in Palinuridae), as well as two extinct families, Cancrinidae a ...
