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]
- Bathicaris Vereshchaka & Lunina, gen. nov.
- Bathicaris brasiliensis (Spence Bate, 1881), comb. nov.
- Bathicaris cereus (Burkenroad, 1936), comb. nov.
- Bathicaris iridescens (Spence Bate, 1881), comb. nov.
- Bathicaris seymouri (Tirmizi, 1960), comb. nov.
- Bathicaris strabus (Burkenroad, 1936), comb. nov.
- Bathicaris urinator (Burkenroad, 1936), comb. nov.
- Dalicaris Vereshchaka & Lunina, gen. nov.
- Dalicaris altus (Spence Bate, 1881), comb. nov.
- Maorrancaris Vereshchaka & Lunina, gen. nov.
