Extant Genera

Cancrinae Latreille, 1802

Fossils

edit

Cancrinae Latreille, 1802

†Lobocarcininae Beurlen, 1930

Until 2000, the extant species were all classified in genus Cancer. After an analysis of new fossil material, the subgenera were elevated to the rank of genus, and three new genera were erected.[3] Most of the family's current diversity is found in temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere.[3]
