Fossil record
Two further fossil taxa may be included in the superfamily, but were not considered in the latest synopsis. The family Retrorsichelidae contains the single species, Retrorsichela laevis from the Campanian, which was tentatively placed in Galatheoidea by its authors. The Eocene genus Ovocarcinus, containing only O. elongatus, was originally placed incertae sedis.
