A new classification of the Galatheoidea (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura)
The high level classification of the Galatheoidea, popularly known as squat lobsters, has been relatively stable for almost a century. Multiple recent studies of their interrelationships, however, have revealed significant incongruities between the traditional classification and phylogeny.

Squat lobsters have a worldwide distribution and are highly visible crustaceans living in a broad range of habitats. In this study, partial sequences of two mitochondrialDNAgenes (16SrRNAandCOI) and a nuclear gene (H3) were obtained for all but one of the known species of the shallow‐water generaSadayoshia(Munididae) andLauriea,MacrotheaandTriodonthea ...
