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] A molecular study using the cytochrome oxidase I gene does not support the monophyly of this genus.[3]
