Pinnotheridae are known for the temperate coasts of Peru and Chile (Peruvian-Chilean Province sensu Retamal & Moyano, 2010) (Table 1).
Morphology of the female reproductive system of European pea crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura,
Pinnotheridae).
Abbreviated larval development of Tunicotheres moseri (Rathbun, 1918) (Decapoda:
Pinnotheridae), a rare case of parental care among brachyuran crabs.
These findings are reinforced by the fact that seven developmental stages were perfect indicators (IndVal > 70%) of flood tide, while just one (
Pinnotheridae, zoea II) was indicator of ebb tide.

Pinnotheridae, Porcellanidae, and Majidae).
Pea crabs of the family
Pinnotheridae De Haan, 1833 constitute a promising group for morphometric studies because of their complex morphological adaptations to symbiotic life style.
Occurrence of the family
Pinnotheridae on the coast of Ceara State, Brazil.
