Vultocinus

Vultocinus anfractus is a species of crab, the only species in the family Vultocinidae.^[2] It has been found around the Philippines, Vanuatu and New Caledonia,^[3] and lives on driftwood.^[4] Its discovery forced a reappraisal of the relationships within the superfamily Goneplacoidea, and to the recognition of Mathildellidae, Conleyidae and Progeryonidae as separate families.^[2]
