Potamidae is a family of freshwater crabs. It includes more than 650 species and nearly 100 genera, which are placed into two subfamilies: Potaminae and Potamiscinae.[2]
Subfamily Potaminae

The Potaminae Ortmann, 1896 are distributed around the Mediterranean Sea, on Socotra and eastwards to Northern India.
