Galatheoidea
Superfamily of crustaceans
The Galatheoidea are a superfamily of decapod crustaceans comprising the porcelain crabs and some squat lobsters . Squat lobsters within the three families of the superfamily Chirostyloidea are not closely related to the squat lobsters within the Galatheoidea.[ 1] Middle Jurassic genus Palaeomunidopsis [ 1]

Fossil record
Two further fossil taxa may be included in the superfamily,[ 3] [ 1] Retrorsichelidae contains the single species, Retrorsichela laevis from the Campanian , which was tentatively placed in Galatheoidea by its authors.[ 4] Eocene genus Ovocarcinus O. elongatus , was originally placed incertae sedis [ 5]
