The Aeglidae are a family of freshwater crustaceans currently restricted to South America. They are the only anomurans to be found in fresh water except for a single hermit crab species Clibanarius fonticola on Espiritu Santo Vanuatu. They live between 20° S and 50° S at altitudes between 320 and 3500 m (1050 and 11480 ft).
