Malacostraca (phylum Arthropoda, subphylum Crustacea) One of eight classes of Crustacea, the malacostracans appear in the Cambrian. There are usually eight pairs of biramous, thoracic limbs, some forms have pincer-like appendages, and the limbs may be modified for swimming, feeding, or other purposes. The group is diverse and includes crabs, lobsters, and the shrimps, and it has quite a good fossil record.
