OverviewAI-generated
Palinuridae is a family of marine arthropods within the order Decapoda and class Malacostraca. The taxon, commonly known as spiny lobsters, was described by Latreille in 1802 and is currently accepted in scientific classification. It belongs to the phylum Arthropoda and kingdom Animalia. The family has a synonym, Synaxidae, and is distinct from the species *Palinurus elephas*.
Records indicate that the family dates back to about 110 million years ago. Specimens have been documented in various locations, including Mexico, Dominica, Japan, the Comoro Islands, and Thailand. These records are held by institutions such as CAS, TCWC, USNM, AMNH, and SIO. The family is categorized as spiny lobsters in food databases, where products list nutritional values including 85 kcal of energy, 19 grams of protein, and 0.7 grams of fat.

Die Langusten (Palinuridae) bilden eine Familie innerhalb der Ordnung der Zehnfußkrebse (Decapoda). Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Erscheinungsbild 2 Verbreitung und Lebensraum 3 Kulinarische Bedeutung 4 Systematik 5 Literatur 6 Einzelnachweise 7 Weblinks Erscheinungsbild Während die Hummer mit ihrem starken Schwanz und zwei großen Scheren den Flusskrebsen ähneln, besitzen Langusten keine Scheren. Auffällig sind bei ihnen jedoch die langen Antennen. Langusten können bis zu 50 cm lang werden, sind in der Regel aber deutlich kleiner. Langusten besitzen einen eher zylindrischen Carapax, die Augenstiele befinden sich in eher unvollständigen Höhlen. Beide Antennenpaare haben relativ lange Geißel, dem zweiten Antennenpaar fehlt der Exopodit, der sog. Scaphocerit. Weibchen können an ihrem fünften Schreitbeinpaar Subchelae vorweisen, Männchen haben stets keine Scheren. Das erste Paar der Schwimmbeine fehlt bei beiden Geschlechtern. Das Telson ist nahezu rechteckig. Die Körper der Langusten sind meist auffällig gefärbt.[1] Verbreitung und Lebensraum Die auch „Ritterkrebse“ genannten Langusten bewohnen felsige Küstenzonen. Im Ostatlantik und Mittelmeer lebt vor allem die Gewöhnliche Languste (Palinuru

Encyclopedic overview
Spiny lobsters, also known as langustas, langoustes, or rock lobsters are marine decapod crustaceans belonging to the family Palinuridae. Spiny lobsters are also, especially in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, and the Bahamas, called crayfish, sea crayfish, or crawfish ("kreef" in South Africa), terms which elsewhere are reserved for freshwater crayfish.
