Coralliogalathea is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Galatheidae.[1] Initially thought to be monotypic, solely represented by Coralliogalathea humilis, recent analysis has split the genus into six, morphologically similar but genetically different species.[2]

Species

  • Coralliogalathea humilis Nobili, 1905
  • Coralliogalathea joae Rodríguez-Flores, et al., 2018[2]
  • Coralliogalathea megalochira Nobili, 1906
  • Coralliogalathea minuta Rodríguez-Flores, et al., 2018[2]
  • Coralliogalathea parva Rodríguez-Flores, et al., 2018[2]
  • Coralliogalathea tridentirostris Miyake, 1953
