Acanthochirana is an extinct genus of prawn that existed during the upper Jurassic period.[3] It was named by E. Strand in 1928, and its type species is Acanthochirana cordata.[2][4] They are distinguished from the related genus Aeger by the presence of teeth on the rostrum, which are absent in Aeger.[5]

Species

(As of 2014), Acanthochirana includes six to seven species:[6][lower-alpha 1]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 A. cenomanica is considered a subjective junior synonym of A. smithwoodwardi.[6][7]
  2. Type species; syn. A longipes[2][6]
