          Abstract

          A new family, Trichopeltariidae, is proposed to accommodate Sphaeropeltarion edentatum, new genus and species, and four additional genera traditionally placed in the family Atelecyclidae: Trichopeltarion A. Milne-Edwards, 1880 (type genus); Peltarion Hombron & Jacquinot, 1846; Podocatactes Ortmann, 1893; and Pteropeltarion Dell, 1972. Additionally, four new species of Trichopeltarion are described and illustrated. The new family exhibits characters of neither superfamilies of the Section Eubrachyura and is assigned to its own superfamily, Trichopeltarioidea nov. Keys to the genera of Trichopeltariidae fam. nov. and to all species in the family are presented (species of Trichopeltarion excepted). Six new combinations are proposed or confirmed. The genus Krunopeltarion Števčić, 1993, is merged into the synonymy of Trichopeltarion. A lectotype is selected for Trichopeltarion corallinum (Faxon, 1893).

          Translated abstract

          Uma nova família, Trichopeltariidae, é proposta para acomodar Sphaeropeltarion edentatum, novo gênero e espécie, além de quarto outros gêneros tradicionalmente inclusos na família Atelecyclidae: Trichopeltarion A. Milne-Edwards, 1880 (gênero-tipo); Peltarion Hombron & Jacquinot, 1846; Podocatactes Ortmann, 1893; e Pteropeltarion Dell, 1972. Adicionalmente, quatro novas espécies de Trichopeltarion são descritas e ilustradas. Trichopeltariidae fam. nov. apresenta caracteres que não são compartilhados com nenhuma das superfamílias de Eubrachyura e é designada em uma superfamília própria, Trichopeltarioidea nov. São apresentadas chaves para os gêneros de Trichopeltariidae fam. nov. e para todas as espécies da família (exceto para as espécies de Trichopeltarion). Seis novas combinações são propostas ou confirmadas. O gênero Krunopeltarion Števčić, 1993, é sinonimizado com Trichopeltarion. Um lectótipo foi designado para Trichopeltarion corallinum (Faxon, 1893).
