Family GONEPLACIDAE MacLeay, 1838 View in CoL

This family has been extensively studied and consequently, has experienced many taxonomic changes in recent years ( Castro 2007; Davie 2002; Karasawa & Kato 2003; Karasawa & Schweitzer 2006). According to Davie et al. (2015a) the family includes 20 genera and 90 species, most of them restricted to the IWP. Only two genera have been cited in Mozambican waters, Carcinoplax H. Milne-Edwards and Psopheticus Wood-Mason.
