Family Parapaguridae Smith, 1882 View in CoL
As in species of the Paguridae , the species of the Parapaguridae have the third maxillipeds widely separated at the base. The chelipeds are dissimilar and unequal. In this family, only the male bears abdominal appendages other than the uropods. The female has only one oviduct, which opens on the coxa of left pereopod 3. Species of this family are found from the continental shelf down to the abyssal plains. Typically, the dactyls of the pereopods are elongated. Parapagurids may carry sea anemones or zoanthids on their shells.
