Erymidae

Erymidae is a family of decapod crustaceans known only from fossils. They survived for 100 million years, from the Permo-Triassic boundary to the Hauterivian.[1] Eleven genera are recognised:[2]

• Clytiella Glaessner, 1931 – 1 species
• Clytiopsis Bill, 1914 – 3 species
• Enoploclytia M’Coy, 1849 – 20 species
• Eryma Von Meyer, 1840 – 44 species
• Galicia Garassino & Krobicki, 2002 – 3 species
• Lissocardia Von Meyer, 1851 – 3 species
• Palaeastacus Bell, 1850 – 24 species
• Paraclytiopsis Oravec, 1962 – 1 species
• Protoclytiopsis Birshtein, 1958 – 1 species
• Pustulina Quenstedt, 1857 – 12 species
• Stenodactylina Beurlen, 1928 – 1 species
