Pseudothelphusidae
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Pseudothelphusidae is a family of freshwater crabs found chiefly in mountain streams in the Neotropics.[1] They are believed to have originated in the Greater Antilles and then crossed to Central America via a Pliocene land bridge.[1] Some species of this family are troglobitic.
Parasitology
Pseudothelpshusids are of significance to humans because many species are secondary hosts for lung flukes of the genus Paragonimus.[2] Predators of pseuthelphusid crabs include the yellow-spotted river turtle and the tufted capuchin.[2]
