Acanthochirana is an extinct genus of prawn that existed during the upper Jurassic period.[3] It was named by E. Strand in 1928, and its type species is Acanthochirana cordata.[2][4] They are distinguished from the related genus Aeger by the presence of teeth on the rostrum, which are absent in Aeger.[5]
