Pseudothelphusidae is a family of freshwater crabs found chiefly in mountain streams in the Neotropics.[2] They are believed to have originated in the Greater Antilles and then crossed to Central America via a Pliocene land bridge.[2] Some species of this family are troglobitic.

Parasitology[edit]

Pseudothelpshusids are of significance to humans because many species are secondary hosts for lung flukes of the genus Paragonimus.[3] Predators of pseuthelphusid crabs include the yellow-spotted river turtle and the tufted capuchin.[3]

Taxonomy[edit]

Forty genera are recognised:[4]
