GONYCRANAUS View in CoL GEN. NOV.
Etymology
The genus is masculine. It is a fusion of the Greek word gony (the same used in Gonyleptidae ), which means joint, and Cranaus, Greek name of a king of Attica, which is also the type genus of Cranaidae ( Kury & Pinto-da-Rocha 2007; Pinto-da-Rocha & Kury, 2007). The taxa placed in this genus were previously thought to be either related to Gonyleptidae or Cranaidae .
