Inachoididae Dana, 1851 |
Inachoididae is a family of crabs originally erected by James Dwight Dana in 1852. For many years, it was not recognised as a valid family, until the early 1980s. Its members closely resemble those of the family Inachidae, and Inachoididae could be recognised as a subfamily of that family.
