RhynchocinetesThe family Rhynchocinetidae are a group of small, reclusive red-and-white shrimp. This family typically has an upward-hinged foldable rostrum,[1] hence its taxon name Rhynchocinetidae, which means movable beak. The family contains only two genera, Cinetorhynchus and Rhynchocinetes.[1]
