Found at various parts of the British and Irish coast. 
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.
