Glyptoxanthus is a genus of crabs in the family Xanthidae, containing eight species.[1] It was originally erected by Alphonse Milne-Edwards in 1879 for six species previously placed in the genus Actaea and elsewhere.[2] Although previously included in subfamily , the genus has a quite distinct morphology from other genera in that group, and was placed in 2011 in the new, monotypic subfamily, Glyptoxanthinae by Jose Christopher Mendoza and Danièle Guinot.[2]
