*Spiny lobster *Slipper lobster *(Spiny lobster) The Achelata is an infra-order of the Reptantia Decapoda. It contains the spiny lobsters (Palinuridae), the slipper lobsters (Scyllaridae) and the furry lobsters (Synaxidae, sometimes included in Palinuridae). The name "Achelata" derives from the fact that all the members of this group lack the claws that are found on almost all other decapods (from the Greek language ''a'' = not, ''chela'' = claw). They are further united by the great enlargement of the first Antenna (biology), by the special ''Phyllosoma'' form of the larva, and by a number of other characters. ==Reference== *Scholtz, G. & S.
