Sesarmidae


The Sesarmidae are a family of crabs, previously included in the Grapsidae by many authors. Several species, namely in Geosesarma, Metopaulias, and Sesarma, are true terrestrial crabs. They do not need to return to the sea even for breeding.

Genera

The family contains these genera:
The genera Chiromantes, Parasesarma, Pseudosesarma, and Sesarmops are apparently not monophyletic. Scandarma may be a junior synonym of some other genus.
