Tozeuma is a genus of caridean prawns in the cleaner shrimp family Hippolytidae.[1] The genus has a global distribution in temperate and tropical marine and estuarine environments.[2]

The World Register of Marine Species lists 11 species in the genus Tozeuma:[3]

Etymology

When Stimpson originally named the genus, he incorrectly translated the Greek word for "arrow", Toxeuma, as Tozeuma. However, Toxeuma was already the name for a genus of wasp in the Pteromalidae family, so it would have been invalid if spelled correctly.[2]
