Podotremata

In some taxonomic systems, Podotremata is the smaller of the two sections making up the crabs (Brachyura). Morphological and molecular analyses do not reveal a monophyletic Podotremata, and so the most recent classifications divide "Podotremata" into three sections: Dromiacea, Cyclodorippoidea and Raninoida.

This group contains the following superfamilies (with their current sections indicated in parentheses):

  • Cyclodorippoidea ( Cyclodorippoida)
  • Homolodromioidea ( Dromiacea)
  • Dromioidea ( Dromiacea)
  • Homoloidea ( Dromiacea)
  • Raninoidea ( Raninoida)
