Abstract

and Phylogenetic relationships within the decapod Crustacea have been the subject of controversy since the establishment of the taxon Decapoda by Latreille (1803). Although some groupings appear to reflect "natural" (i.e., monophyletic) lineages, such as the Dendrobranchiata and Brachyura, other recognized assemblages are generally conceded to be unnatural (i.e., para- or polyphyletic). The infraorder Anomura MacLeay, 1838, is an example of a taxon that has undergone consid- erable revision and rearrangement since its conception (see McLaughlin, 1983b; McLaughlin and Holthuis, 1985). Modem classifications of the Anomura vary according to author. The scheme of Glaessner (1969) follows that of Borradaile (1907) and includes as anomurans the superfamilies Thalassinoidea, Paguroidea, Galatheoidea, and Hippoidea. Most modem workers exclude the thalassinoids from the Anomura; McLaughlin and Holthuis (1985) list as constituent super- families the Galatheoidea, Hippoidea, Lomoidea, and Paguroidea. The anomuran family Aeglidae Dana, 1852, consisting of the single genus Aegla, is usually placed in the superfamily Galatheoidea Samouelle, 1819, along with the Galatheidae, Chirostylidae, and Porcellanidae (e.g., Balss, 1957; Glaessner, 1969; Bowman and Abele, 1982).
