A new classification of the Galatheoidea (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) (2010, methodology): “In most previous uses of the superfamily (e.g., Balss 1957; Martin & Davis 2001; Macpherson et al. 2005), the Chirostylidae and Kiwaidae were included, but phylogenetic analyses have shown that these families are not closely related to other marine squat lobsters, and belong in a separate…”
