Thalassinidea
Thalassinidea is an
infraorder
of
decapod
crustaceans
that live in
burrows
in
muddy
bottoms of the world's
oceans
. They are poorly known to most people, and as such have few
vernacular
names - "mud lobster" and "ghost shrimp" counting among them. Recent
molecular analyses
have shown this group to be most closely related to Brachyura (
crabs
) and
Anomura
(
hermit crabs
and their allies). The fossil record of thalassinideans reaches back to the late
Jurassic
.
