Trichodactylidae Explained

Trichodactylidae is a family of crabs, in its own superfamily, Trichodactyloidea. They are all freshwater animals from Central and South America,[1] including some offshore islands, such as Ilhabela, São Paulo.[2] Only one of the 50 species is known from the fossil record, Sylviocarcinus piriformis from the Miocene of Colombia.[3] The family contains 15 genera in two subfamilies:[4]

Subfamily Dilocarcininae Pretzmann, 1978
Subfamily Trichodactylinae H. Milne-Edwards, 1853
