Chirostyloidea is an anomuran taxon with squat lobster-like representatives. It comprises the three families Chirostylidae, Eumunididae and Kiwaidae.[1] Although representatives of Chirostyloidea are superficially similar to galatheoid squat lobsters, they are more closely related to Lomisoidea and Aegloidea together forming the taxon Australopoda.[2] No fossils can be confidently assigned to the Chirostyloidea, although Pristinaspina may belong either in the family Kiwaidae or Chirostylidae.[3]

gollark: Yes, this reddit post puts it at 644000, which is less bad.

gollark: ... didn't you say you were reading it *yesterday* or something? I'm pretty sure it's a million words or something.

gollark: Most of the planes I've been on have only had "normal" seating as far as I could tell. Those have mostly been shortish journeys around Europe, so that might be why.

gollark: BTW I use ArchThe AUR is very nice, it still seems to have lots of available binary packages, and it's pretty lightweight.
