Acanthochirana is an extinct genus of prawn that existed during the upper Jurassic period.^[3] It was named by E. Strand in 1928, and its type species is Acanthochirana cordata.^[2]^[4] They are distinguished from the related genus Aeger by the presence of teeth on the rostrum, which are absent in Aeger.^[5]

Species[]

As of 2014, Acanthochirana includes six to seven species:^[6]^[a]

(Oppel, 1862)
