Trapeziidae
Trapeziidae is a family of crabs, commonly known as coral crabs. All the species in the family are found in a close symbiosis with cnidarians. They are found across the Indo-Pacific, and can best be identified to the species level by the colour patterns they display. Members of the family Tetraliidae were previously included in the Trapeziidae, but the similarities between the taxa is the result of convergent evolution. Subfamilies and genera The World Register of Marine Species lists the following subfamilies and genera: '' Calocarcininae'' Stevcic, 2005 *'' Calocarcinus'' Calman, 1909 *'' Philippicarcinus'' Garth & Kim, 1983 *'' Sphenomerides'' Rathbun, 1897 '' Quadrellinae'' Stevcic, 2005 *'' Hexagonalia'' Galil, 1986 *'' Hexagonaloides'' Komai, Higashiji & Castro, 2010 *'' Quadrella'' Dana, 1851 '' Trapeziinae'' Miers, 1886 *''Trapezia ''Trapezia'' is a genus of guard crabs in the family Trapeziidae.

Trapezia Tigrina
''Trapezia'' is a genus of guard crabs in the family Trapeziidae. Like other members of this family, they live in association with coral Corals are marine invertebrates within the class Anthozoa of the phylum Cnidaria. They typically form compact colonies of many identical individual polyps. Coral species include the important reef builders that inhabit tropical oceans and ...s, feeding on coral tissue and mucus, and defending the corals from predators, like starfish. It contains the following species: *'' Trapezia areolata'' Dana, 1852 *'' Trapezia bella'' Dana, 1852 *'' Trapezia bidentata'' (Forskål, 1775) *'' Trapezia cheni'' Galil, 1983 *'' Trapezia corallina'' Gerstaecker, 1857 *'' Trapezia cymodoce'' (Herbst, 1801) *'' Trapezia digitalis'' Latreille, 1828 *'' Trapezia flavopunctata'' Eydoux & Souleyet, 1842 *'' Trapezia formosa'' Stimpson, 1869 *'' Trapezia garthi'' Galil, 1983 *'' Trapezia globosa'' Castro, 1997 *'' Trapezia guttata'' Rüppell, 1830 *'' Tra ...

Crabs
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 in fresh w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Quadrella
''Morisonia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Capparaceae, found across the Americas from the United States to Argentina. It was recently enlarged with New World ''Capparis'' species due to existing taxonomic instability. They tend to be shrubs or small trees. Species Currently accepted species include: *''Morisonia alainiana'' (Cornejo & Iltis) Christenh. & Byng *''Morisonia americana'' L. *''Morisonia amplissima'' (Lam.)
