From HandWiki

Hymenosoma (crown crabs) is a genus of crabs, containing the following species:[1][2][3][4]

  • Hymenosoma crosnieri Naruse & Guinot, 2023
  • Hymenosoma depressum Hombron & Jacquinot, 1846
  • Hymenosoma gaudichaudii Guérin, 1831
  • Hymenosoma geometricum Stimpson, 1858
  • Hymenosoma hodgkini Lucas, 1980
  • Hymenosoma longicrure Dawson & Griffiths, 2012
  • Hymenosoma lurio Poore, Jaime & Teske, 2025
  • Hymenosoma orbiculare Desmarest, 1823
  • Hymenosoma projectum Dawson & Griffiths, 2012
  • Hymenosoma trilobatum Dawson & Griffiths, 2012

The majority of the species are found around southern Africa; the Australasian species H. depressum, H. gaudichaudii and H. hodgkini may be better placed in other genera.[3][5]
