Pronunciation: [hˈɒməɹˌɪdiː] (IPA) 
Homaridae is a family of marine crustaceans that includes the popular seafood delicacy, the lobster. Some synonyms for Homaridae include clawed lobsters, spiny lobsters, rock lobsters, and langouste. The family comprises about 100 species that are distributed throughout the world's oceans, ranging from shallow waters to deep-sea habitats. These species are distinguished by their hard exoskeletons, two pairs of antennae, and two sets of jaws used for crushing and grinding their prey. Though highly prized as a food source, Homaridae also play an important ecological role in the marine environment by regulating the populations of smaller crustaceans and invertebrates.
