Metacarcinus
Metacarcinus is a genus of crabs formerly included in the genus Cancer.[1] It includes nine exclusively fossil species and five extant species, of which four are also known from the fossil record.[2] The monophyly of this genus was not supported by a molecular study using the cytochrome oxidase I gene.[3]
Included species:[4]
- Metacarcinus anthonyi (Pliocene to Recent)
- † Metacarcinus danai (Miocene, California)
- † Metacarcinus davidi (Miocene to Pliocene, California)
- Metacarcinus edwardsii
- † Metacarcinus goederti (Oligocene, Alaska)
- Metacarcinus gracilis (Pliocene to Recent)
- Metacarcinus granti
- † Metacarcinus izumoensis (Miocene, Japan)
- † Metacarcinus jenniferae (Middle Pliocene, California)
- Metacarcinus magister (Pliocene to Recent)
- † Metacarcinus minutoserratus (Pliocene, Japan)
- Metacarcinus novaezelandiae
- † Metacarcinus starri (Early Oligocene, Washington)
