Euryxanthops

Euryxanthops is a genus of crabs in the family Xanthidae. It was originally established in 1983 by Garth & Kim to contain three species of deep-water crabs from Japan and the Philippines - Euryxanthops dorsiconvexus, Euryxanthops flexidentatus and Euryxanthops orientalis.[1] Since then, several more species of this genus have been identified and described, and Euryxanthops currently contains:[2]
