Family Callianassidae Dana, 1852 View in CoL

Callianassidae Dana, 1852: 12 View in CoL .—Manning & Felder 1991: 766.— Sakai 1999b: 7.— Sakai 2011: 353 –357. Callianassinae Dana, 1852: 10 .—Manning & Felder 1991: 767.— Sakai 1999b: 10. — Sakai 2011: 357 –358.

Remarks. Manning & Felder (1991) introduced subfamily names for Callianassidae , some of which have been more recently elevated to family rank. Sakai (2011), basing his conclusions largely on his own reviews, included ten families in ‘Callianassoidea’. He restricted Callianassidae s.s. to two subfamilies, Callianassinae (incorporating Cheraminae Manning & Felder, 1991) and Callichirinae Manning & Felder, 1991. Here, we discuss species in this and two other families recognised by him, Callianopsidae Manning & Felder, 1991 and Gourretiidae Sakai, 1999 . Another, Paracalliacinae Sakai, 2005 was largely ignored in Sakai’s (2011) synthesis but becomes relevant below.
