Pilumnoidea Explained

Pilumnoidea is a superfamily of crabs,^{[1] [2]} whose members were previously included in the Xanthoidea.^[3] The three families are unified by the free articulation of all the segments of the male crab's abdomen and by the form of the gonopods.^[2] The earliest fossils assigned to this group are of Eocene age.^[4]
