Annotated checklists of the world's Recent anomuran crustacean superfamilies Aegloidea, Hippoidea, Lithodoidea, Lomisoidea, Paguroidea and galatheoid family Porcellanidae are presented. Each is accompanied by brief reviews of the historical aspects of its classification, general external morphology, features of larval development and current phylogenetic status. This presentation is divided into four parts because the only unifying threads among the Aegloidea, Hippoidea, Porcellanidae and the crab-like Lithodoidea and Lomisoidea are their shared anomuran apomorphies and mutually exhibited, but independently evolved, carcinization. That carcinization similarly links the latter two superfamilies with the Paguroidea is still a passionately debated matter that will be briefly addressed, but certainly not resolved. The checklists include all currently recognized valid species, primary synonyms and homonyms, notes on matters of confusion and/or misunderstanding, and complete bibliographic references to all original descriptions. The lists are enhanced by a collection of photographs depicting the variety exhibited by members of these taxa.
