The family '''Thaumastochelidae''' contains fourfive known species of deep-sea [[lobster]]s, three in the [[genus]] ''Thaumastocheles'', and onetwo in the genus ''Thaumastochelopsis''. TheyThe fifth species was discovered in the ten–year [[Census of Marine Life]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.coml.org/imagegallery/ |title=Image Gallery |publisher=[[Census of Marine Life]] |accessdate=2009-11-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |publisher=[[Fox News]] |url=http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/scitech/2009/11/23/deep-sea-oddiites-census-marine-life?slide=7 |title=Deep sea oddities and more from the Census of Marine Life |date=2009-11-23}}</ref> These creatures are distinguished from other clawed lobsters by their [[Blind animals|blindness]] (an adaptation to deep-sea life), and by their single elongated, spiny ''[[clawchela (organ)|chela]].<ref name="Bruce">{{cite journal |author=A.
