Phylogenetic relationships of the reptantian taxa Astacida, Thalassinida, Anomura, and Brachyura according to[44]. The Anomura and Brachyura are sister taxa. The phylogenetic relationships within the Anomura are a matter of debate. We decided to follow the hypothesis proposed by McLaughlin and co-workers [12]. The terrestrial Coenobitidae are a subtaxon of the Paguroidea, a group the members of which have evolved the potential to use molluscan shells as protection for their pleon. Images from [136].
