The Achelata is an infra-order of the decapod crustaceans, holding the spiny lobsters, slipper lobsters and their fossil relatives.

Description

The name "Achelata" derives from the fact that all the members of this group lack the chelae (claws) that are found on almost all other decapods (from the Ancient Greek ἀ-, a- = "not", χηλή, chela = "claw"). They are further united by the great enlargement of the second antennae, by the special "phyllosoma" form of the larva, and by a number of other characters.^[2]

Classification and fossil record

The infraorder Achelata belongs to the group Reptantia, which consists of the walking/crawling decapods (lobsters and crabs). The cladogram below shows Achelata's placement within the larger order Decapoda, from analysis by Wolfe et al., 2019.^[3]

Decapoda

	Dendrobranchiata (prawns)

Pleocyemata

Stenopodidea (boxer shrimp)

	Procarididea

	Caridea ("true" shrimp)

Reptantia

Achelata (spiny lobsters and slipper lobsters)

	Polychelida (benthic crustaceans)

	Astacidea (lobsters and crayfish)

Axiidea (mud shrimp, ghost shrimp, and burrowing shrimp)

Gebiidea (mud lobsters and mud shrimp)

	Anomura (hermit crabs and allies)

	Brachyura ("true" crabs)

(crawling /
walking
decapods)

Achelata contains the spiny lobsters (Palinuridae), the slipper lobsters (Scyllaridae) and the furry lobsters (Synaxidae, now usually included in Palinuridae),^[4] as well as two extinct families, Cancrinidae and Tricarinidae.^[1]

Extant families of Achelata

Palinurus elephas
Palinuridae

Palinurellus gundlachi
Palinuridae, formerly Synaxidae

Scyllarides latus
Scyllaridae

Both Palinuridae and Scyllaridae have a fossil record extending back to the Cretaceous.^[5]^[6] The two fossil families contain a single genus each;^[1] Tricarina is known from a single Cretaceous fossil,^[7] while Cancrinos is known from the Jurassic and Cretaceous.^[6] One estimate of the divergence between Achelata and its closest relatives places it at about 341 million years ago.^[8]
