Latreillia is a genus of crabs in the family Latreilliidae, comprising five species:[1]

  • Latreillia elegans Roux, 1830
  • Latreillia metanesa Williams, 1982
  • Latreillia pennifera Alcock, 1900
  • Latreillia valida De Haan, 1839

The name Latreillia honors Pierre André Latreille. A genus of flies was also given the same name and, as a junior homonym, was renamed Belvosia.
