Suborder II. Anomoura, M. Edw. 



In the various species of this suborder, which connects 

 the short and long-tailed suborders, the cephalo-thoracic 

 portion of the body is always much more developed than 

 the abdominal part. This, in some of them, is doubled in 

 under the carapace, in others it is extended. The fifth pair 

 of legs, and sometimes indeed the two hind pairs, are not 

 formed for walking, but are rudimentary, and transformed 

 into organs for holding with, or at least are situated above 

 the level of the other legs. The inner and outer antennae 

 are generally well developed. In one of the groups, con- 

 taining Dromia and Lithodes, the abdomen has no terminal 

 appendages, while in the other, containing the Hermit Crabs, 

 that part is furnished with a pair of movable appendages. 

 The sternal plate is generally linear between the three last 

 legs, and widened in front.
