Cancroidea is a superfamily of crabs, comprising the families Atelecyclidae and Cancridae. Two families previously included in this superfamily have since been separated off into new superfamilies — Cheiragonidae into Cheiragonoidea, Corystidae into Corystoidea — while two others (Pirimelidae, Thiidae) have been transferred to Portunoidea ^[1]
