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]
