Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Arthropoda

Superfamily:	Grapsoidea
Family:	Sesarmidae; Dana, 1851

The Sesarmidae are a family of crabs, previously included in the Grapsidae by many authors. Several species, namely in Geosesarma, Metopaulias, and Sesarma, are true terrestrial crabs. They do not need to return to the sea even for breeding.[1]

Genera

The family contains these genera:[2]

Aratus
Armases
Bresedium
Chiromantes
Clistocoeloma
Episesarma
Geosesarma
Haberma
Karstarma
Labuanium
Metagrapsus
Metasesarma
Metopaulias
Muradium
Namlacium
Nanosesarma
Neosarmatium
Neosesarma
Parasesarma
Perisesarma
Pseudosesarma
Sarmatium
Scandarma
Selatium
Sesarma
Sesarmoides
Sesarmops
Stelgistra
Tiomanum

The genera Chiromantes, Parasesarma, Pseudosesarma, and Sesarmops are apparently not monophyletic. Scandarma may be a junior synonym of some other genus.[1][3]

Selected species

Chiromantes dehaani – kurobenkeigani (Japanese)
Chiromantes eulimene – marsh crab (east coast of southern Africa)
Chiromantes haematocheir – red-clawed crab; akategani (Japanese) dodukge (Korean)
Parasesarma erythrodactyla – red-handed shore crab
Parasesarma pictum – kakubenkeigani (Japanese)

gollark: What's the point of that?

gollark: Please stop doing that.

gollark: Why are you *deliberately obfuscating your code*?!

gollark: `peripheral.find("modem", rednet.open)` - kind of hacky but works.

gollark: ```luarn = function() sides = {"right","left","top","bottom","front","back"} sides_raw = {"right","left","top","bottom","front","back"} for i=1, #sides do sides[i] = peripheral.getType(sides_raw[i]) if sides[i] == "modem" then rednet.open(sides_raw[i]) print("Rednet Open on "..sides_raw[i].." Side") end endend```WHY
