“…It is widely accepted that they are grouped into seven superfamilies: Aegloidea, Galatheoidea, Hippoidea, Kiwaoidea, Lomisoidea, Lithodoidea, and Paguroidea (McLaughlin et al,2007,2010). The Paguroidea are further classified into six families, including the Paguridae, which is the most diverse taxon with approximately 75 genera and 542 species (McLaughlin,2003; Osawa and Okuno,2003; Asakura and Tachikawa,2004; McLaughlin and Rahayu,2006,2008; McLaughlin,2007; McLaughlin et al,2010) that are widely distributed around the world. Pagurus Fabricius, 1775 is the largest and most speciose anomuran genus, with 173 currently assigned species (Lemaitre and Cruz Castaño,2004; McLaughlin,2007; McLaughlin et al,2010; Scelzo et al,2010).…”
