Retroplumidae is a family of heterotrematan crabs, placed in their own (monotypic) superfamily, Retroplumoidea.

Classification

Eight genera are recognised, of which all but two are only known from fossils:[2]

Ten species in two genera survive in the deep sea of the Indo-Pacific region:[3]

Fossil specimens ascribed to the Retroplumidae are known from the Late Cretaceous onwards, with Archaeopus antennatus in ConiacianMaastrichtian rocks in California and Archaeopus ezoensis from Turonian–Maastrichtian rocks from Japan.[4]
