Pachygrapsus is a genus of small shore crabs. Recent genetic data suggest this genus to be possibly polyphyletic.[3]

It comprises the following species:[2]

  • Pachygrapsus corrugatus (von Martens, 1872)
  • Pachygrapsus crassipes Randall, 1840
  • Pachygrapsus fakaravensis Rathbun, 1907
  • Pachygrapsus gracilis (Saussure, 1858)
  • Pachygrapsus laevimanus Stimpson, 1858
  • Pachygrapsus loveridgei Chace, 1966
  • Pachygrapsus marmoratus (Fabricius, 1787)
  • Pachygrapsus maurus (Lucas, 1846)
  • Pachygrapsus minutus A. Milne-Edwards, 1873
  • Pachygrapsus planifrons De Man, 1888
  • Pachygrapsus plicatus (H. Milne-Edwards, 1837)
  • Pachygrapsus propinquus De Man, 1908
  • Pachygrapsus socius Stimpson, 1871
  • Pachygrapsus transversus (Gibbes, 1850)
