Trapeziidae is a family of crabs, commonly known as coral crabs. All the species in the family are found in a close symbiosis with cnidarians. They are found across the Indo-Pacific, and can best be identified to the species level by the colour patterns they display. Members of the family Tetraliidae were previously included in the Trapeziidae, but the similarities between the taxa is the result of convergent evolution. ==Subfamilies and genera== The World Register of Marine Species lists the following subfamilies and genera:〔 ''Calocarcininae'' Stevcic, 2005 *''Calocarcinus'' Calman, 1909 *''Philippicarcinus'' Garth & Kim, 1983 *''Sphenomerides'' Rathbun, 1897 ''Quadrellinae'' Stevcic, 2005 *''Hexagonalia'' Galil, 1986 *''Hexagonaloides'' Komai, Higashiji & Castro, 2010 *''Quadrella'' Dana, 1851 ''Trapeziinae'' Miers, 1886 *''Trapezia'' Latreille, 1828 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「Trapeziidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
