Crab, any short-tailed member of the crustacean order Decapoda (phylum Arthropoda)â especially the brachyurans (infraorder Brachyura), or true crabs, but also other forms such as the anomurans (suborder Anomura), which include the hermit crabs. (doglink.pt)

Crustacea2
According to the authors, Daphnella belongs to the group Brachyura , which included the majority of Crustacea , although more recent discoveries suggest that this specimen resembles the classification Anomura , characterized by a stunted fifth pair of legs. (baumanrarebooks.com)

Crabs3
The largest crab group are the Brachyura (true crabs) including the edible crab and Atlantic blue crab. (dailygeekreport.com)
The other large group are the Anomura (false crabs), with an ancestor that looked more like a lobster. (dailygeekreport.com)
However, at least four groups of Anomura - sponge crabs , porcelain crabs , king crabs and the Australian hairy stone crab - have independently evolved into a crab-like form in much the same way as the true crabs. (dailygeekreport.com)
Infraorder1
A specific genus in the family Paguridae, infraorder ANOMURA . (nih.gov)
In a paper published on March 11 in BioEssays , a team of researchers led by Harvard University found that the crab-like body plan evolved at least five times independently in both true crabs (Brachyura) and false crabs (Anomura). (eurekalert.org)
The infraorder Brachyura - sometimes referred to as "true crabs" - contains approximately 7,000 species in 98 families. (factsanddetails.com)
Brachyura belongs to the group Reptantia, which consists of the walking-crawling decapods (lobsters and crabs). (factsanddetails.com)
Brachyura is the sister clade to the infraorder Anomura, which contains the hermit crabs and relatives. (factsanddetails.com)
Species1
In one species of shore crab (Brachyura, Varunidae), a center that supports long-term visual habituation and that matches the reniform body's morphology has been claimed as a homolog of the insect mushroom body despite lacking traits that define it as such. (bvsalud.org)
