Dyspanopeus is a genus of crabs in the family Panopeidae, comprising two species:[1]
- Dyspanopeus sayi (Smith, 1869)
- [[(Stimpson, 1859)|(Stimpson, 1859)]] Dyspanopeus texanus
Both species were formerly included in the genus Panopeus, but were separated off into a segregate genus in 1986, based on the form of their pleopods, which differ markedly from those in Panopeus and other genera.[2]
