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: Oh no. Another browser...

gollark: <@301092081827577866> Out of curiosity what are you looking at redneT for?

gollark: I have some code for sender-verified turtle control.

gollark: It was the serious suggestion that you, if you will, read what is known as the "documentation", the standard method for discovering functionality available in software.

gollark: "Read the docs": not actually sarcastic.
