Unlike many London Clay species, the genus Dinochelus (which Dinochelus steeplensis is apart of) is still around today with the species Dinochelus ausubeli discovered in 2007 in the Philippines.
Its two claws are very different in because size, are elongated, and bear many long teeth on the inner surface. It is sometimes dubbed the terrible claw lobster because of its claws.
