The Pylojacquesidae are a small family of hermit crabs, comprising only two[1] monotypic genera.[2][3] The family was erected in 2001, after two specimens at Museum für Naturkunde at the Humboldt University of Berlin were recognised as being quite distinct from other described hermit crabs.[4] The family members differ from other hermit crabs in that their mandibles are chitinous and toothed.[5]
