Should be merged with Palinuridae edit

If Synaxidae is in fact now considered to be nested within Palinuridae, then this article should either be merged with Palinuridae, or the taxon box classification and scope of the article altered, since this article only mentions 3 species in 2 genera. Furthermore, this page is redundant, since Palibythus has a page descending from Palinuridae. Reference to the former family Synaxidae can be made in the appropriate spots on the Palinuridae page.Animalparty (talk) 01:54, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

But the concept of the "furry lobster" still exists, even if it is not accorded a formal taxonomic rank. This page is nested within Palinuridae. The page is also not redundant, because there is information presented here that is not given at spiny lobster. --Stemonitis (talk) 16:58, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
