Callianassa Pugnatrix

''Callianassa'' is a genus of mud shrimps, in the family Callianassidae. Three of the species in this genus ('' C. candida'', '' C. tyrrhena'' and '' C. whitei'') have been split off into a new genus, '' Pestarella'', while others such as '' Callianassa filholi'' have been moved to '' Biffarius''. The genus is named after the Nereid of the Greco-Roman mythology.
