چکیده
A new palaeocorystid crab, Joeranina houssineaui n. sp., is described from upper Cenomanian strata in southwest France, Being apparently derived from J. broderipii, the new species inhabited a sandier substrate environment than its predecessor. The incomplete holotype reveals portions of the internal pleurites, which are rarely seen in extinct crabs.

Cenomanian vertebrate assemblages from southwestern France: a new insight into the European mid-Cretaceous continental fauna
Cenomanian paralic deposits of Charentes (southwestern France) have yielded abundant vertebrate microremains, including rather diversified continental taxa (e.g., frogs, turtles, crocodilians, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, lizards, and mammals). In this preliminary report, the succession of faunal assemblages observed is briefly described in relation to palaeoenvironmental change resulting from the Ce...
متن کاملThe first ibis fly in mid-Cretaceous amber of France (Diptera: Athericidae).
A new genus and species of ibis fly is described from an isolated wing in amber from the Late Albian-Early Cenomanian of Charentes, southwestern France. Galloatherix incompletus gen. et sp. n., is the first Athericidae fossilized in Cretaceous amber, and only the eighth Mesozoic species. It adds to the diverse aquatic and semiaquatic paleobiota already identified from Charentese amber.

A large number of recently collected specimens from Puerto Rico has yielded two new species including Palaeoxanthopsis tylotus and Eurytium granulosum, the oldest known occurrence of the latter genus. Cretaceous decapods are reported from Puerto Rico for the first time, and the Cretaceous fauna is similar to that of southern Mexico. Herein is included the first report of Pleistocene decapods fr...
متن کاملA puzzling frog crab \(Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura\) from the Early Cretaceous Santana Group of Brazil: frog first or crab first?
The evolutionary origin of frog crabs (Raninoida) remains puzzling partly due to their astonishing morphological disparity, ranging from broad and heavily ornamented ‘crab-like’ extinct families (necrocarcinids and allies), to elongate and smoother ‘frog-like’ extant ones (raninids and allies). However, an ancient Cretaceous clade (Palaeocorystidae) displays a combination of plesiomorphic and a...
متن کاملThe Cretaceous crab Rathbunopon : revision , a new species and new localities
The crab genus Rathhunopon is exclusively known from Cretaceous rocks, mainly from Europe. Here two new European localities are presented: one in the Albian/Cenomanian of northern Spain yielding well-preserved specimens of Rathhunopon ohesum, and one from the lower Aptian at the German-Austrian border yielding Rathhunopon schrattenkalkensis n. sp. Both are found in association with coral reefs....
