Porcellanopagurus is a genus of hermit crabs.[1][2] The genus occurs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.[2]
Description
Porcellanopagurus is unusual among hermit crabs in that the body is largely symmetrical, with the abdomen held recurved above the cephalothorax. L. A. Borradaile interpreted Porcellanopagurus as being an independent instance of carcinisation among the Anomura.[3]
