| Summary: | Forcipatia n. gen. Diagnosis. Female. Cheliped fixed finger and dactylus elongated. Uropodal exopod uniarticulated. Etymology. The genus is named for the shape of the chela; elongated and of similar shape to the cheliped in Pseudotanais. Remarks. Leptognathia rotundicauda Kudinova-Pasternak, 1970, L. longimanus Larsen, 2005, and L. sp G. (currently undescribed, Dr. G. Bird, pers. comm.), are removed from Leptognathia to the new genus due to the special features of the chela. In all other respects this genus is identical to Leptognathia. 1.
