# Litòdids

Els litòdids (Lithodidae) són una família de crustacis decàpodes de l'infraordre Anomura, localitzats principalment en els mars freds. Moltes espècies tenen una gran mida, i són emprades com a aliment pels humans.
Es creu que van derivar dels bernats ermitans, la qual cosa pot explicar l'asimetria palesa en les formes adultes. Per bé que encara hi ha dubtes sobre aquesta teoria, els Lithodidae són l'exemple més estès de la calcificació entre els decàpodes. L'evidència per a la teoria ve de l'asimetria de l'abdomen, similar a la dels crancs ermitans que han d'encaixar en una closca espiral.
