Homolodromiidae is a family of crabs, the only family in the superfamily Homolodromioidea.^[1] In contrast to other crabs, including the closely related Homolidae, there is no strong linea homolica along which the exoskeleton breaks open during ecdysis.^[2] The family comprises two genera, Dicranodromia, which has 18 species, and Homolodromia, with five species.^[1]
