GENUS BENTHESICYMUS BATE, 1881

Remarks: As currently understood, the genus Benthesicymus includes 17 species, collectively occurring throughout the world ocean ( Pérez Farfante & Kensley, 1997). Pérez Farfante & Kensley (1997) summarized the known distributions of these species. Roberts & Pequegnat (1970) presented a review and key for species of Benthesicymus found in the Gulf of Mexico. Kickuchi & Nemoto (1991) described collections of Benthesicymus from the western North Pacific, commented on the vertical distribution of these shrimps and presented a taxonomic key to 15 species. Only one species from this genus has been noted from seep environments.
