Plagusiidae is a family of crabs. It was formerly treated as a subfamily of the family Grapsidae, but has since been considered sufficiently distinct to be a family in its own right.[2]
Six genera are included in the family:[3]
- Davusia Guinot, 2007
- Euchirograpsus H. Milne-Edwards, 1853
- Guinusia Schubart & Cuesta, 2010
- Miersiograpsus Türkay, 1978
- Percnon Gistel, 1848
- Plagusia Latreille, 1804
