Benthesicymus is a genus of prawns, containing the following species:[2]
- Benthesicymus altus Spence Bate, 1881
- Benthesicymus armatus MacGilchrist, 1905
- Benthesicymus bartletti Smith, 1882
- Benthesicymus brasiliensis Spence Bate, 1881
- Benthesicymus cereus Burkenroad, 1936
- Benthesicymus crenatus Spence Bate, 1881
- Benthesicymus howensis Dall, 2001
- Benthesicymus investigatoris Alcock & Anderson, 1899
- Benthesicymus iridescens Spence Bate, 1881
- Benthesicymus laciniatus Rathbun, 1906
- Benthesicymus seymouri Tirmizi, 1960
- Benthesicymus strabus Burkenroad, 1936

A single fossil species, formerly included in the genus Benthesicymus, is now placed in a separate genus, Palaeobenthesicymus.[3]
A 2020 study showed Benthesicymus to be paraphyletic with five robust clades, 4 of which were diagnosed as new genera:[4]
