Diogenidae is a family of hermit crabs, sometimes known as "left-handed hermit crabs" because in contrast to most other hermit crabs, it is the left chela (claw) that is enlarged instead of the right. It comprises 429 extant species,[2] and a further 46 extinct species,[1] making it the second largest family of marine hermit crabs, after Paguridae.[3]
