Inachoididae

Family of crabs

Inachoididae is a family of crabs originally erected by James Dwight Dana in 1852. It was not recognised as a valid family until the early 1980s.[1] Its members closely resemble those of the family Inachidae, and the Inachoididae could be recognised as a subfamily of that family.[1]
