[edit] Missing Philyra?

[1][2] --200.121.144.52

Philyra is a genus of crab from the family Leucosiidae, superfamily Leucosioidea. See here. The article only lists the decapod groups down to superfamily level, and Philyra should not be included in the article unless it is a particularly notable genus of crabs.--Crustaceanguy (talk) 13:13, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] someone's corection=

The Decapoda is the largest natural grouping within the Malacostraca. In all decapods the thoracic segments are fused dorsally to a carapace, a fold of which extends ventrally on each side of the animal, enclosing the gills and constituting a branchial chamber.
