The Australian southern giant crab, Pseudocarcinus gigas (Lamarck, 1818), has traditionally been placed in the families Oziidae Dana, 1851 or Menippidae Ortmann, 1893 (superfamily Eriphioidea MacLeay, 1838). Previous genetic studies questioned the validity of this classification as the molecular markers placed it far from all eriphioid lineages. A morphological re-examination of P. gigas shows that it possesses a suite of unusual characters in the structure of the antennae, antennules, epistome, carapace, pereopods, thoracic sternum, and vulvae that show it is different from other Eriphioidea as well as all other extant heterotremes, confirming the genetic results. A new family, Pseudocarcinidae, and a new superfamily, Pseudocarcinoidea, both monotypic, are here established for P. gigas.

The genus Orchestoidea Nicolet, 1849 is geographically restricted to sandy beaches of the southeastern Pacific coast of Chile, being found from 23°S (Antofagasta, northern Chile) to 45°S (Guamblin Island, southern Chile), along a latitudinal gradient of ca. 2,400 km. Orchestoidea tuberculata Nicolet, 1849, the only known species for the genus, was originally described from Valparaíso Bay, central Chile (33°S). However, the published morphological descriptions are incomplete and a comparison with populations along the entire distributional range is difficult, because the type material is considered lost. In this paper, we selected a male specimen recently obtained from a site close to the type locality, to designate a neotype for O. tuberculata. A detailed description and illustrations of this specimen are also provided to establish a basis for further analysis of Orchestoidea.
