Fishery Bulletin/U S Dept of Commerce National Oceanic COMPARISON OF SOME GENERA AND SPECIES OF BOX CRABS (BRACHYURA: CALAPPIDAE), SOUTHWESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC, WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES AUSTIN B. WILLIAMSl AND C. ALLAN CHILD" ABSTRACf Five species ofcalappid crabs from the southwestern Atlantic that belong to the genera Calawa, Cyclozo­ dion new genus, and Paracyclois are analyzed on the basis of morphology, morphometries, geographic, and bathymetric range. Calawa tortugM, new rank. known in the past as C. angusta in the broad sense, is restricted and compared with its eastern Pacific twin species, C. sa"U8sursi. Two small species placed in Cyclczooio'/l were until now unrecognized and partly included in CakLwa angusta, broad sense. Cyclczo­ dion angustum, a relatively smooth form, is the type species of the new genus, and C. tuberatu'll~, a rough form superficially resembling Calawa tortugM, is described as new. Species of both Paracyclcis and the Early Tertiary genus Calappilia in which it was subsumed are reviewed, the former is revalidated, and its only two species, western Atlantic P. atlantis and western Indo-Pacific P. milneed.wardsii, are rediagnosed. Diagnoses and discriminations are accompanied by illustrations. Keys to calappid genera in the Western Atlantic, and for identification of Cyclozooion and Paracyclois species are given.

    We are pleased and honored to welcome at the Paléospace Museum of Villers-sur-Mer the “6th Symposium on Mesozoic and Cenozoic Decapod Crustaceans”. Villers-sur-Mer is a place universally known by specialists and amateurs of palaeontology due to its famous Vaches Noires cliffs. Villers-sur-Mer has also the distinction of being the only French seaside resort located on the Greenwich Meridian line. The Paléospace is a Museum funded in 2011 with the label Musée de France. Three main animations linked to the Time are presented: palaeontology, astronomy and nature with the neighbouring marsh. The museum is in a constant evolution. For instance, an exhibition specially dedicated to dinosaurs was opened two years ago and a planetarium will open next summer. Every year a very high quality temporary exhibition takes place during the summer period with very numerous animations during all the year. The Paléospace does not stop progressing in term of visitors (56 868 in 2015) and its notoriety is universally recognized both by the other museums as by the scientific community. We are very proud of these unexpected results. We thank the dynamism and the professionalism of the Paléospace team which is at the origin of this very great success. We wish you a very good stay at Villers-sur-Mer, a beautiful visit of the Paléospace and especially an excellent congress. Jean-Paul Durand, Mayor and President of Paléospace MOT DU MAIRE DE VILLERS-SUR-MER Nous sommes très heureux et très honorés d’accueillir à Villers-sur-Mer, le « 6e Symposium on Mesozoic and Cenozoic Decapod Crustaceans » dans le cadre du Paléospace.

  • New Decapods from the Navidad Formation (Miocene) of Chile
    JOURNAL OF CRUSTACEAN BIOLOGY, 25(3): 427–449, 2005 NEW DECAPODS FROM THE NAVIDAD FORMATION (MIOCENE) OF CHILE Rodney M. Feldmann, Carrie E.

([email protected]); (AE) Universidad de Chile, Departamento de Geologı´a, Casilla 13518, Correo 21, Santiago, Chile ([email protected]) ABSTRACT A new Miocene decapod fauna is described from the Navidad Formation of coastal Chile. The fauna includes five callianassoid taxa, none of which is preserved sufficiently to identify to species level. New species include Calappilia? chilensis, Hepatus spinimarginatus, Proterocarcinus navidad, Pilumnus cucaoensis, and Pinnixa navidadensis. A possible rhizopine member of the Pilumnidae Samouelle, 1819, is described. Trichopeltarion levis Casadı´o et al., 2004, previously known from the late Oligocene of western Argentina, was also recovered from these rocks. Calappa circularis Beurlen, from the lower Miocene Pirabas Formation in Brazil, is herein referred to Calappilia. This report greatly increases the known number of fossil decapods from Chile and sets the stage for paleobiogeographic comparison of the decapod faunas of Chile and Argentina. The Neogene rock sequence in Chile is largely confined to M.S. thesis, added Callianassa sp. and a new species of crab about seven basins along the modern Pacific Ocean to the list.

Kieda, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT The ichnology and mineralogy of selected occurrences of trace fossils and green minerals in verdine and glaucony facies were investigated, and the nature and significance of their association were evaluated. Trace fossils and green marine clays commonly occur together and are genetically related. At each site fecal pellets in marine shelf sediments were determined to be the most likely precursor of the green minerals. Fecal pellets, which are common on shelf sea floor, are organic rich, and they provide microenvironments of reduction for green mineral authigenesis, which promotes the formation of glauconitic pellets or odinite-rich pellets depending upon the paleoenvironmental conditions. Fecal pellets in intensely burrowed sediment represent a direct link between ichnology and green mineral authigenesis.

New taxa for the area are represented by Karasawaia markgrafi new combination, Panopeus veintensis new species, and Tehuacana schweitzerae new species from the Lower Eocene of the El Bosque Formation. A review of previously reported species from these localities result in reclassification and identification of Neocallichirus sp. cf.

Occurrence of Calappilia hondoensis, Verrucoides stenohedra, and Viapinnixa alvarezi is confirmed with new specimens. Due to its poor preservation and incompleteness, specimens of Callianassidae, Diogenidae, Petrochirus sp., Portunidae, and Xaiva? sp. are only referred to high taxonomic levels.

We compiled the first global dataset of exceptionally preserved muscles in malacos- Decapoda tracans consisting of 47 occurrences, including 18 new records, predominantly preserved in Mesozoic Konservat- Exceptional preservation Lagerstätten (> 70% of occurrences).

Feldmann; e-mail: [email protected] (Received 17 November 2018; accepted 16 January 2019) ABSTRACT Investigation of decapod crustaceans from Paleogene sediments of Mississippi has yielded one new Eocene brachyuran species, Matutites periosus n. sp., and six new Oligocene brachy- uran species, Lophoranina lincki n. sp., Notopus adinae n. sp., Calappilia granulosa n. sp., C. per- reaulti n. sp., C. gableorum n. sp., and Acanthocarpus osborni n. sp. Other occurrences include previously described caridean shrimp, axiids, pagurids, and raninids. Mesostylus, a callia- nassid, is described for the first time from Danian deposits, all other occurrences being Late Cretaceous. The Oligocene decapod fauna from Gulf Coastal North America, including localities in Alabama and Mississippi, is most like that of Pacific Coastal Baja California and most different from Pacific coastal localities from Oregon northward. Key Words: Alpheidae, Calappidae, Callianassidae, Lyreididae, Matutidae, Paguridae, Raninidae, southeastern USA INTRODUCTION cyclical fluctuations in carbonate content (Hart et al., 2013).

Miocene cerro Águila conglomerate of the cabo Domingo group. Three new genera and five new species are named: Asthenognathus australen- sis, new species; Miotymolus quadratus, new genus and species; Mursia fuegiana, new species; Pharkidodes agele, new genus and species; and Tierrapilumnus edseli, new genus and species. compilation of all described species of decapods from late oligocene to early pliocene exposures in 18 general localities in patagonia, southern argentina, and chile documents two paleobiogeographic provinces, argentine and chilean. coupled with evidence from the biogeographic patterns of associated mollusks, the faunas from Tierra del fuego have been assigned to the argentine paleobiogeographic province.
