Ancylomenes is a genus of shrimp, erected in 2010 to accommodate the group of species around "Periclimenes aesopius" (now Ancylomenes aesopius).[1] Members of the genus are widely distributed in the warm oceans of the world, and live in association with cnidarians[2]; most are cleaner shrimp.[1]

The genus Ancylomenes contains the following species:[3]

  • Ancylomenes adularans (Bruce, 2003)
  • Ancylomenes aesopius (Spence Bate, 1863)
  • Ancylomenes amirantei (Bruce, 2007)
  • Ancylomenes aqabai (Bruce, 2008)
  • Ancylomenes grandidens (Bruce, 2005)
  • Ancylomenes holthuisi (Bruce, 1969)
  • Ancylomenes kobayashii (Okuno & Nomura, 2002)
  • Ancylomenes kuboi Bruce, 2010
  • Ancylomenes longicarpus (Bruce & Svoboda, 1983)
  • Ancylomenes lucasi (Chace, 1937)
  • Ancylomenes luteomaculatus Okuno & Bruce, 2010
  • Ancylomenes magnificus (Bruce, 1979)
  • Ancylomenes okunoi Bruce, 2010
  • Ancylomenes pedersoni (Chace, 1958)
  • Ancylomenes sarasvati (Okuno, 2002)
