Furry lobster

 ( Achelata ) 

Furry lobsters (sometimes called coral lobsters) are small decapoda , closely related to the and . The antennae are not as enlarged as in spiny and slipper lobsters, and the body is covered in short seta, hence the name furry lobster. Although previously considered a family in their own right (Synaxidae Spence Bate, 1881), the furry lobsters were subsumed into the family Palinuridae in 1990. Subsequent molecular phylogenetics studies have confirmed that the furry lobsters genera don't form a natural group and were both nested among the spiny lobster genera in family Palinuridae. That family now includes the two furry lobster genera and ten spiny lobster genera.

• Phyllamphion elegans Reinhardt, 1849 – mole lobster, with an Indo-Pacific distribution
• Phyllamphion gundlachi (Von Martens, 1878) – Caribbean furry lobster, found in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean coast of South America; named for Juan Gundlach
• Palibythus magnificus P. J. F. Davie, 1990 – musical furry lobster, from the Pacific Ocean (originally described from Samoa)
