The junior homonym Coenobita Gistl, 1848 is now the moth genus Ectropis.{{Taxobox | name = Coenobita | image = Caribbean hermit crab.JPG | image_caption = Caribbean hermit crab, C. clypeatus | regnum = Animalia | phylum = Arthropoda | subphylum = Crustacea | classis = Malacostraca | ordo = Decapoda | superfamilia = Paguroidea | familia = Coenobitidae | genus = Coenobita | genus_authority = Latreille, 1829 | type_species = Pagurus clypeatus | type_species_authority = Fabricius, 1787 [1] }} The genus Coenobita contains the sixteen species of terrestrial hermit crabs.[1] EcologyCoenobita species carry water in the gastropod shells they inhabit, allowing them to stay out of water for a long time.[2]DistributionThe majority of the species are found in the Indo-Pacific region, with only one species in West Africa, one species occurring along the western Atlantic Ocean, and one species occurring on the Pacific coast of the Americas.[4]
TaxonomyCoenobita is closely related to the coconut crab, Birgus latro, with the two genera making up the whole of the family Coenobitidae. The name Coenobita was coined by Pierre André Latreille in 1829, from an Ecclesiastical Latin word, ultimately from the Greek {{lang|el|κοινόβιον}}, meaning "commune"; despite ending in a vowel, the genus is masculine in gender.[4]References1. ^1 {{cite WoRMS |author=Patsy McLaughlin |year=2009 |title=Coenobita Latreille, 1829 |db=Paguroidea |id=205507 |accessdate=January 4, 2012}} 2. ^{{cite book |title=Biology of Arthropoda |author=D.
