 GENUS XANTHILITES BELL, 1858 AND A NEW XANTHOID FAMILY (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: BRACHYURA: XANTHOIDEA): NEW HYPOTHESES ON ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
It is hypothesized that the Carpiliidae, Platyxanthidae, Tumidocarcinidae new family, Zanthopsidae, and at least some subfamilies of the Eriphiidae form a natural group and may belong to a discrete superfamily, based upon paleontological and neontological evidence.
Goniocypoda tessieri is confirmed as a member of the Hexapodidae, extending the range of that family into the Cretaceous; however, the family is not a likely candidate for embracing the ancestral xanthoids.
SEVERAL RECENT works have considered the fossil Xanthoidea MacLeay, 1838 in an attempt to place the fossils within the context of the group's most up-to-date neontological classification (Schweitzer, 2000, 2003a, 2003b; Karasawa and Kato, 2003a, 2003b; Karasawa and Schweitzer, 2004; Schweitzer and Karasawa, 2004; Schweitzer et al., 2004).

Some species blend in with algae, or other substrata on which they live on, while others ("decorator crabs") attach a variety of objects to their backs and legs, onto tiny hooks on their exoskeleton for camouflage.
Menippe belongs to a side branch of a large group of crabs, the Superfamily Xanthoidea (bulk of the diversity in family Xanthidae), which have heavy, powerful builds, large, crushing chelae, and fairly slow movements.
They tend to be crushing predators on mollusks and other invertebrates.
