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]
