Carcinocoris

Carcinocoris is a genus of Asian ambush bugs, erected by Anton Handlirsch in 1897.^[1] These insects are typical of the tribe Carcinocorini and like the two other genera are notable in having claw-like modifications to their forelegs for capturing prey. Species have been recorded from southern China and Indochina.^[2]
