reptantia

reptantia
A division of the decapod crustacea by Boas (1880) on which the carpoprodal articulation of the pereiopods has two fixed points of attachment and the pleopods are often reduced or may be absent. Used as a suborder of the Decapods in many classifications and includes all the decapods except prawns (Natantia) [Ingle, 1992].
