Decapoda sunt ordo Crustaceorum intra classem Malacostracorum, quibus sunt multi greges familiares, praecipue Astacoidea, Parastacoidea, Brachyura, Nephropidae, Dendrobranchiata, et Caridea. Plurima decapoda sunt necrophagi. Zoologi aestimant ordinem paene 15 000 specierum in circa 2700 generum continere, quarum fere 3300 sunt species fossiles.[1] Paene dimidium harum specierum sunt Brachyura, et plurimum quod restat sunt Caridea (circa 3000 specierum) et Anomura (Paguroidea, Porcellanidae, Galatheidae, Chirostylidae, et Kiwaidaes, coniunctim circa 2500 specierum).[1] Antiquissimum decapodum fossile iam inventum est Palaeopalaemon, ex aevo Devoniano.[2]
