Cancridae is a family of crabs. It comprises six extant genera, and eleven exclusively fossil genera, in two subfamilies: Cancrinae Latreille, 1802 *''Anatolikos'' Schweitzer & Feldmann, 2000 *†''Anisospinos'' Schweitzer & Feldmann, 2000 *''Cancer'' Linnaeus, 1758 *†''Ceronnectes'' De Angeli & Beschin, 1998 *†''Cyclocancer'' Beurlen, 1958 *''Glebocarcinus'' Nations, 1975 *''Metacarcinus'' A. Milne-Edwards, 1862 *†''Microdium'' Reuss, 1867 *†''Notocarcinus'' Schweitzer & Feldmann, 2000 *''Platepistoma'' Rathbun, 1906 *''Romaleon'' Gistel, 1848 *†''Santeecarcinus'' Blow & Manning, 1996 *†''Sarahcarcinus'' Blow & Manning, 1996 †Lobocarcininae Beurlen, 1930 *†''Lobocarcinus'' Reuss, 1857 *†''Miocyclus'' Müller, 1978 *†''Tasadia'' Müller ''in'' Janssen & Müller, 1984 Until 2000, the extant species were all classified in genus ''Cancer''. After an analysis of new fossil material, the subgenera were elevated to the rank of genus, and three new genera were erected. Most of the family's current diversity is found in temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cancridae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
