Dinochelus
Dinochelus ausubeli is a small deep sea lobster discovered in 2007 in the Philippines during the Census of Marine Life and described in 2010 in the new genus Dinochelus. Its two claws are very different in because size, are elongated, and bear many long teeth on the inner surface. It is sometimes dubbed the terrible claw lobster because of its claws.
