Coralliogalathea

Genus of crustaceans

Coralliogalathea is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Galatheidae.[1] Initially thought to be monotypic, solely represented by Coralliogalathea humilis, recent analysis has split the genus into six, morphologically similar but genetically different species.[2]
