Guinotia

Guinotia is a monotypic genus of freshwater crabs in the family Pseudothelphusidae, containing only the species Guinotia dentata, commonly known as cyrique. They have few predators. Found in the West Indies, they are easily caught and thus are used locally as a food source.

==Description== Guinotia dentata is almost oval in shape and the teeth on its carapace are very small. It is a yellow-brown colour and its shell can grow to long; it is about 3/5 long as wide. The eyestalks are yellow whilst the corneas are black, but they are probably best identifiable by their large yellow claws with straight sharply pointed fingers.
