Eucalliacidae Manning & Felder 1991
Family EUCALLIACIDAE Manning & Felder, 1991 TYPE GENUS. — Eucalliax Manning & Felder, 1991. REMARKS The family has a well-documented fossil record with a stratigraphic span reaching back to Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) (Charbonnier et al. 2017). The assignment of the fossil material consisting of isolated cheliped elements to various eucalliacid genera was discussed in several studies (Hyžný 2012; Hyžný & Hudáčková 2012; Hyžný & Gašparič 2014). However, recent revisions of extant representatives based both on molecular and morphological characters (Poore et al. 2019; Robles et al. 2020; Poore 2021) call for re-evaluation of the fossil record of these animals.
