Dromiacea is a group of crabs ranked as a section. It contains 240 extant and nearly 300 extinct species. Where they are considered to form a monophyletic group Dromiacea and two other groups of crabs namely the Raninoida and Cyclodorippoidea may be collected together into the Podotremata each at the rank of subsection; morphological and molecular evidence argue against such a grouping.The larvae of Dromiacea resemble those of the Anomura more closely than those of other crabs.
