Palicoidea Explained

Palicoidea is a superfamily of crabs, comprising the two families Crossotonotidae and Palicidae. Together, they contain 13 genera, including two genera in the Palicidae known only from fossils.[1] The two families were previously treated as two subfamilies in a Palicidae of wider circumscription.[2] [3]
