A new family, Pylojacquesidae. is proposed for Pylojacquesia colemani. new genus and species. Although (he new family, with its monoiypic genus, exhibits characicrs of both supcrfamilles of the Section Paguridea, it is tentatively assigned to the Paguroideu until additional material becomes available that would permit a more detailed study. The new family Pylojacquesidae is diagnosed, and its t...
