Pestarella is a genus of thalassinidean crustacean erected in 2003 from former members of the genus Callianassa. It is distinguished from Callianassa by the rounded rather than squarish telson and by the absence of the first two pleopods in males. The genus contains the following species:Pestarella candida (Olivi 1792)Pestarella convexa (de Saint Laurent & Le Loeuff 1979)Pestarella rotundicaudata (Stebbing 1902)Pestarella tyrrhena (Petagna 1792)Pestarella whitei (Sakai 1999)↑ 1.0 1.1 ↑
