Superfamily of crustaceans
Astacoidea is
superfamily of freshwater
crayfish that live in the
Northern Hemisphere. The other superfamily of crayfish,
Parastacoidea, lives in the
Southern Hemisphere. Astacoidea consists of three
families:
Astacidae (from Europe and western North America),
Cambaridae (from eastern North America), and
Cambaroididae (from eastern Asia). Crayfish are closely related to
lobsters, as shown in the simplified
cladogram below:
