Pestarella is a genus of thalassinidean crustacean erected in 2003 from former members of the genus Callianassa.[1] It is distinguished from Callianassa by the rounded, rather than squarish telson, and by the absence of the first two pleopods in males.[1] The genus contains the following species:[2]

  • (Olivi, 1792)
  • (de Saint Laurent & Le Loeuff, 1979)
  • (Stebbing, 1902)
  • Pestarella tyrrhena (Petagna, 1792)
  • (Sakai, 1999)
