Guinotia is a monotypic genus of freshwater crabs in the family Pseudothelphusidae, containing only the species Guinotia dentata, commonly known as cyrique. They have few predators. Found in the West Indies, they are easily caught and thus are used locally as a food source.

Is it venomous or poisonous?
We have no record of Cyrique being toxic, poisonous or venomous. That is not proof that it is safe. Never eat, touch or handle a wild plant, mushroom or animal on the strength of an identification; ask someone qualified.
