Homoloidea

Belongs within: Brachyura.
Contains: Latheticocarcinus.

The Homoloidea are a group of podotreme crabs in which the uropod has been transformed into a pit (Guinot & Tavares 2001). Members of the family Homolidae bear characteristic lines on the carapace, the lineae homolicae, along which the cuticle breaks during moulting.
