Th e genus to which it is most closely allied is Lophoranina Fabiani, 1910. Th ese two genera are the only ones in the Raninidae that are characterized by possession of a trifid rostrum and development of terraced ornamentation. However, Lophoranina tends to be widest near the front or at the level of the last anterolateral spine, whereas Remyranina n. gen. is broadest at the midlength, well posterior to the anterolateral spines. Furthermore, the anterolateral spines and the postorbital spines on Lophoranina are generally small, whereas those on Remyranina n. gen. are large. Finally, the terraced lines of Lophoranina extend nearly to the front of the carapace, well in advance of the branchiocardiac grooves, whereas those on Remyranina n. gen. are confined to the posterior half of the carapace. Th ere seems to be no other genus of raninids with which Remyranina n. gen. could be confused.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F961FFD1D8C7FE5DFEC8B0C4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Front narrow, about 17% carapace width; fronto-orbital margin moderately broad, about 68% carapace width; maximum carapace width, measured at midlength, less than 80% maximum carapace length; posterior margin broken, estimated to be about 54% maximum width. Front projected slightly in advance of postorbital spines; rostrum sulcate,trifid, with axial spine projected in advance of lateral spines; axis of rostrum with subtle granular ridge. Orbital margin not well preserved; apparently sinuous with at least one orbital fissure at about midpoint; terminating laterally in prominent outer orbital spine. Lateral margin of outer orbital spine convex, widest near tip and narrowing to tip and to intersection with anterolateral margin. Anterolateral margin widening posteriorly; with two spines (broken) dividing margin into thirds; general outline of carapace widest posterior to spines. Posterolateral margins nearly straight, converging posteriorly, rimmed by beaded marginal rim. Posterior margin broken.</p> <p>Surface of carapace divided into granular anterior half and terraced posterior half. Mesogastric region discernable as extremely subtle pyriform swelling widening posteriorly from rostral ridge to anterior termination of prominent, deep, arcuate branchiocardiac pits. Regions on remainder of front half of carapace indistinguishable; surface with fine gran- ules, somewhat coarser axially and finer laterally. Posterior half of carapace crossed by prominent, continuous to discontinuous, digitate, sinuous terrace structures; terrace structures generally concave forward; tips of digitations broken, fine, about 2.6 digitations per mm, forward-directed. Regions not defined in posterior half.</p> <p>Remainder of carapace, ventral surface, and appendages not observed.</p> <p>DISCUSSION</p> <p>The description of this species given by Remy (1960: 57) is quite complete and little can be added to it. The emended description has been written to use consistent, modern terminology to facilitate comparison with other raninids.</p> <p>The nature of the fine structure developed on the terraced ornamentation on Remyranina ornata n. comb. is very much like that seen on Lophoranina georgiana (Rathbun, 1935) (Feldmann et al. 1996: fig. 5), L. precocia Feldmann, Vega, Tucker, García- Barrera &amp; Avendaño, 1996 and L. cristaspina Vega, Cosma, Coutiño, Feldmann, Nyborg, Schweitzer &amp; Waugh, 2001. In those three species and, in all likelihood, other species within the genus, the digitate margins of terraced structures are broken ends of fine spines that are directed anteriorly (Vega et al. 2001: fig. 4.7). Th ese small spines were interpreted by Feldmann et al. (1996) to function as hooks to anchor the organism in very fine sediment or to capture bits or organic debris as camouflage (Savazzi 1981). It is possible that Remyranina ornata n. comb. also possessed small spines that had a similar function.</p> <p>Subsection HETEROTREMATA Guinot, 1977 Superfamily CALAPPOIDEA De Haan, 1833 Family CALAPPIDAE De Haan, 1833</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F961FFD0DAEAFF33FDB1B3E7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Gorodiski), paratype of M’Bathié (Senegal) not present in the MNHN Collections.</p> <p>TYPE LOCALITY. — Pougnar (Senegal), Upper Lutetian (Gorodiski &amp; Remy 1959).</p> <p>DISCUSSION</p> <p>The type specimen originally referred to Atelecyclus gorodiskii is quite incomplete. All of the margins are broken, and nothing remains of the front and orbits. Dorsal carapace regions are reasonably well preserved, however, and indicate narrow, elongate axial regions bordered by deep axial grooves; small, narrow protogastric regions; and large, granular ornamentation on all of the carapace regions. The carapace appears to have been ovate, but it is not possible to know for certain because of the broken margins. Comparison of the nature of the carapace regions with members of the Atelecyclidae (e.g., illustrations in Salva &amp; Feldmann 2001) indicates that the species is not a member of that family. Species of Atelecyclus Leach, 1814, have arcuate swellings parallel to the lateral margins of the cardiac region, which are absent in Atelecyclus gorodiskii. Other genera within the Atelecyclidae and the related Cancridae Latreille, 1802, have narrow axial regions, but they are not as long as those of Atelecyclus gorodiskii, and the cardiac and intestinal regions are never as long in those families as in Atelecyclus gorodiskii.</p> <p>The Calappidae can better accommodate Atelecyclus gorodiskii. Members of that family possess narrow, elongate axial regions bordered by deep axial grooves; small, narrow protogastric regions; and often possess large, granular ornamentation on all of the carapace regions, all of the observable features on Atelecyclus gorodiskii. Herein we tentatively refer the species to Calappilia, a common Eocene genus characterized by all of these features. In addition, Calappilia possesses spines on the posterolateral margin as does A. gorodiskii, and lacks a posterolateral flange of spines, as is seen in many species of Calappa Weber, 1795. More complete specimens will be necessary to confirm generic placement for this species; however, placement within the Calappidae seems reasonable.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F960FFD6DB10FF3CFEFCB732	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It has been a widespread genus from Eocene to recent time, recorded from tropical to temperate regions (Schweitzer &amp; Feldmann 2000).</p> <p>Remy (1960) referred a small, ovate specimen to Cenomanocarcinus simplex. Th is species cannot be referred to Cenomanocarcinus for several reasons (see illustrations in Schweitzer et al. 2003 and Guinot et al. 2008).Species of Cenomanocarcinus are characterized by ridges on the carapace, but they are arrayed both transversely and longitudinally. Cenomanocarcinus simplex has carapace ridges that are axially and obliquely arrayed on the lateral regions of the carapace.Species of Cenomanocarcinus have well-defined axial,protogastric, and hepatic regions, whereas C. simplex has axial regions that are defined only by a deep lateral groove along the entire axial region. Cenomanocarcinus spp. have a transverse ridge on the cardiac and branchial regions which C. simplex lacks. Cenomanocarcinus spp. have an arcuate epibranchial ridge extending from the last anterolateral spine and terminating along the axis, which C. simplex lacks.</p> <p>Cenomanocarcinus simplex is better accommodated within the Calappidae and Mursia. Cenomanocarcinus simplex possesses large, circular, rimmed orbits; a granular anterolateral margin with a small lateral spine; and five dorsal carapace ridges with large transverse granules. Th ese features are typical of Mursia spp.; thus, we refer the species to Mursia, resulting in Mursia simplex n. comb. Mursia simplex n. comb. differs from other species of the genus in having less granular ornamentation overall.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F966FFD6D8C3FE7DFBFAB4AE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Remy).</p> <p>MEASUREMENTS. — Measurements (in mm) taken on the holotype and sole specimen of Szaboa lamarei n. sp.: maximum carapace width = 20.3; maximum carapace length = 19.3; fronto-orbital width = 11.3; posterior width = 6.3; length to position of maximum width = 6.7.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY. — Th e trivial name is that used by Jean- Marcel Remy on the label but that was never published, in honour of Pierre Lamare (French geologist).We honor the work of both geologists by using Remy’s intended name.</p> <p>TYPE LOCALITY. — Monségur, Gironde, Rupelian, Calcaire à Astéries Formation.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS. — Outer-orbital spines triangular, directed forward; carapace swellings large; lower orbital margin with large swelling.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION</p> <p>Carapace obovate, about as wide as long, length about 95% maximum carapace width, widest about 35% the distance posteriorly on carapace at about level of posterior edge of protogastric regions; flattened transversely and moderately vaulted longitudinally.</p> <p>Front abraded, broken. Orbits wide, outer orbital spine triangular, directed forward; upper orbital margin sinuous; lower orbital margin extending well anterior of upper orbital margin, with central swelling. Anterolateral margins with several rounded spines, at least one with granular ornament. Posterolateral margin weakly concave, probably weakly rimmed. Posterior margin narrow, about 30% maximum carapace width, weakly rimmed.</p> <p>Epigastric region weakly inflated, spherical.Protogastric regions triangular, apex directed posteriorly, with transverse swelling centrally. Mesogastric region with weak anterior extension, highly inflated posteriorly. Urogastric region depressed below level of mesogastric and cardiac regions. Cardiac region most inflated of all regions, produced into conical elevation. Intestinal region very long, not well differentiated. Hepatic region small, flattened. Epibranchial region with large spherical swelling centrally.Remainder of branchial regions undifferentiated, with small swelling just adjacent to posterolateral margin.</p> <p>Pterygostomial region with suborbital swelling.Remainder of carapace and appendages unknown.</p> <p>DISCUSSION</p> <p>Szaboa lamarei n. sp. is easily distinguished from the only other species in the genus, S. inermis, in possessing much larger carapace swellings and apparently larger anterolateral swellings, although the latter is difficult to determine because the sole specimen of S. lamarei is abraded. Th e features of the two species are essentially identical except that the ornamentation of S. lamarei is much more robust. Because the species of S. lamarei is an abraded mold of the interior, collection of additional material could provide more details of the morphology of this species.</p> <p>The new species of Szaboa is accommodated within the Matutidae based upon its lower orbital margins extending well beyond the upper orbital margins, seen in extant species (Galil &amp; Clark 1994) and in Szaboa inermis (Müller &amp; Galil 1998: fig. 1); its obovate carapace that is about as wide as long; and its wide orbits that occupy most of the frontal margin of the carapace. Th e new species is superficially similar to species of Eriosachila Blow &amp; Manning, 1996, of the Aethridae Dana, 1851, but Eriosachila petiti Blow &amp; Manning, 1996, the type species of the genus, has small orbits with a lower orbital margin that does not extend beyond the upper orbital margin and has well-defined carapace regions not typical of the Matutidae. Th us, the new species is best accommodated within the Matutidae.</p> <p>Of the Matutidae, the new species is the only one of early Oligocene age. Eomatuta granosa is early Eocene in age, known from Italy (De Angeli &amp; Marchiori 2009). Th e other two fossil species are Miocene in age (Müller &amp; Galil 1998; Karasawa 2002). Th e occurrence extends the geographic range somewhat, although Szaboa inermis was already known from Hungary; thus, the probable range and distribution pathway to the current Indo-Pacific occurrences remains Tethyan.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F964FFDBD8FDFD59FE3CB470	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Th e conformation of axial regions on the type species of the three genera are totally different from one another; the outlines, particularly with reference to the posterior margin are dissimilar; and the orbital architecture of the two taxa on which it is present on the type species, Micromaia tuberculata Bittner, 1875, and on Pisomaia tuberculata Lőrenthey in Lőrenthey &amp; Beurlen, 1929, are different. Thus, there seems to be no unifying set of morphological criteria to justify the Micromaiinae.Further, Glaessner (1969) characterized the orbital structure of the subfamily as being like the Inachinae which he described as lacking orbits. That is certainly not the case in the several examples of Micromaia examined by us and well illustrated by Beschin et al. (1985). Investigation into the composition and validity of the subfamily is ongoing.</p> <p>Discussion of the Micromaiinae is warranted because the type species of the new genus, Planobranchia n. gen., was originally placed within Micromaia. As discussed below, the species referred to the new genus bear close resemblance to members of the Majinae, and that placement is adopted here. Because we have not examined all available representative specimens of all species of Micromaia, Mithracia, and Pisomaia, it is premature to comment on their relationships in detail. Th at work is in progress.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F96BFFDBD8B6FD58FB9CB732	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

The gender is feminine.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS. — Carapace pyriform, widest at midlength of branchial region; moderately vaulted transversely and longitudinally. Gastric regions only weakly differentiated; defined laterally by prominent V-shaped groove converging from anterior margin of orbits to urogastric region, the narrowest part of axial regions. Cardiac region nearly as wide as widest part of gastric regions, hexagonal to ovoid in outline; bearing two nodes on medial transverse ridge. Intestinal region well defined, long, approximately as wide as urogastric region. Epibranchial and mesobranchial regions strongly inflated, separated from one another by subtle arcuate attachment scar expressed on mold of the interior of the carapace; widest part of these regions converge as angular projections toward urogastric region. Metabranchial region extends from widest part of cardiac region posterolaterally around posterior margin of metabranchial region and clearly defined axially by posterior margin of cardiac region and intestinal region; depressed below other regions. Surface of carapace weakly ornamented by fine granules or pits; lacking strong tubercles.</p> <p>DISCUSSION</p> <p>Planobranchia laevis n. comb. and P.simplex n. comb. were both originally assigned to Micromaia based upon overall similarities in outline and, in the absence of other majid genera that the species more closely resembled,the assignments seemed reasonable.However, the two species exhibit several morphological features that readily distinguish them from other species assigned to Micromaia. Bittner (1875) originally defined Micromaia tuberculata, both the genus and species, simultaneously. Thus, species referable to Micromaia must conform to the concept of the genus as defined by Bittner (1875: 76) within his specieslevel description. Th e elements of his description of Micromaia tuberculata that we take as characterizing the genus Micromaia include a pyriform outline; very poorly defined regions, sometimes defined only by the pattern of tubercles; axial regions that are more or less uniform in width, and with the intestinal region being very short or not differentiated; branchial regions that are undifferentiated and uniformly inflated; and a uniform, dense array of coarse, often truncated-conical tubercles over the entire carapace. The orbits are within the range of typical majids: directed anterolaterally and arising posterior to the bifid, weakly downturned rostrum.</p> <p>The two species herein removed from Micromaia referred to Planobranchia n. gen. have regions that are weakly defined by grooves, rather than tubercle patterns; axial regions that are quite variable in width, and with the cardiac region being nearly the widest region; a distinct, long, narrow intestinal region; a depressed, flattened metagastric region that is clearly differentiated from the epibranchial and mesobranchial regions;and an overall absence of strong ornamentation.Although the fronts of both type specimens of P.laevis n. comb. and P.simplex n. comb. are absent, the orbital margin appears to be quite similar to other majids and, at least on P. simplex n. comb., there appears to be a slight indication of a bifid rostrum. Thus, representatives of the two genera are readily distinguishable, based upon characters that are taxonomically important at the generic level in majids.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F96BFFDADB3DFE3EFE08B289	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(Remy in Gorodiski &amp; Remy, 1959) (Fig. 2A)</p> <p>Micromaia simplex Remy in Gorodiski &amp; Remy, 1959: 317, fig. 2.</p> <p>TYPE MATERIAL. — Holotype (carapace) by monotypy (MNHN R03839, coll. Gorodiski). Casts of the type (KSU D1097) are deposited in the Department of Geology, Kent State University.</p> <p>TYPE LOCALITY. — N’Gueyène, western Senegal, Upper Lutetian (Gorodiski &amp; Remy 1959).</p> <p>DISCUSSION</p> <p>The description by Remy in Gorodiski &amp; Remy (1959: 317) adequately describes the species and will not be repeated here. The genus Planobranchia n. gen. embraces two species that are quite similar to one another and confirm their affinities and their distinction from species of Micromaia as discussed above. Planobranchia simplex n. comb. has a broader, more inflated epibranchial and mesobranchial region than does the type species. Th e cardiac region of the Senegal specimen is narrower, about 21% maximum width, whereas the cardiac region of P.laevis n. comb. (Fig. 2B) is about 27% maximum width. The transverse ridge on the cardiac region of P.simplex n. comb. is more subtle than that of P.laevis n. comb., and the ridge on the latter species extends laterally to intersect the margin of the mesobranchial region. Finally, the metabranchial region on P. simplex n. comb. is irregularly elevated but smooth, whereas that surface on P. laevis n. comb. is also irregularly elevated but is covered with tiny pits or perforations. The frontal regions on both type specimens are broken, so that comparison is not possible.</p> <p>Both species of Planobranchia n.gen. were collected from Eocene rocks in North and West Africa, on the south margin of the Tethyan seaway.Th e type species was collected near Cairo, Egypt (Lőrenthey 1909). Species of Micromaia are known primarily from Italy, but also from other localities on the northern margin of the Tethys seaway.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F96AFFDAD8E5FAC7FC5EB2EA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The anterolateral margin is broken, but shows the bases of four relatively robust spines. Th e arcuate epibranchial region and the marked muscle scars on the mesogastric region and along the urogastric region are what probably led Remy to refer the species to Branchioplax, which is characterized by both features. However, the apparently large anterolateral spines are larger than those seen in species of Branchioplax. In addition, the holotype of B. ballingi, while broken, has a length to width ratio of about 67%. Other species of Branchioplax, including B. washingtoniana, the type species, are more equant, having ratios of 80-85%. It is possible that B. ballingi is more closely related to members of the Portunidae or Macropipidae, but more complete material will be necessary to fully assess its placement. For now, we questionably refer it to Branchioplax.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F96AFFD9DB1CFA80FDADB50C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The extant Liocarcinus corrugatus is characterized by transverse ridges on the dorsal carapace, and such ornamentation is seen on the fossil species L. kuehni and possibly on L. rakosensis. The illustration of L. rakosensis in Lőrenthey &amp; Beurlen (1929: pl. 13, fig. 1a) shows six anterolateral spines; however, it has been reported that some of the illustrations in that volume are inaccurate (P. Müller pers. comm. 2004). Liocarcinus oroszyi is less well preserved than some other species and appears to have had some granular ornamentation on the dorsal carapace (Bachmayer 1953). Th e other fossil specimens are compression specimens, making details of the carapace and ornamentation difficult to interpret.</p> <p>The new species is referred to Liocarcinus based upon its possession of a wider than long carapace; five anterolateral spines, the first four of which are directed forward; marked posterolateral reentrants; granular ornamentation; and well-defined carapace regions. Th ese are typical of Liocarcinus. The referral of the new material to Liocarcinus marks the second Oligocene occurrence of the genus. Liocarcinus lancetidactylus had already been noted from the Oligocene of the Caucasus (Smirnov 1929; Karasawa et al. 2008). Species of this genus are known</p> <p>from the fossil record in Europe and what is now southern Russia, and extant species are Atlantic and Indo-Pacific in distribution (Ingle 1980; Poore 2004). Thus, the genus may have had a Tethyan distribution and dispersal route in the past.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F969FFD8D8E8FA00FDC9B712	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Holthuis &amp; Manning (1969) referred the 24 genera of fossil and extant stomatopods to only two families. Since that time, extensive work on the group has resulted in a proliferation of suprageneric taxa so that Martin &amp; Davis (2001) recognized seven superfamilies and 17 families of living forms. Far less proliferation of fossil taxa has resulted owing to the paucity of work on fossil stomatopods since 1969.</p> <p>Hof (1998) restudied the type material of Eryon yehoachi as well as additional unidentified specimens and placed them into a new family and genus of stomatopod. Holthuis &amp; Manning (1969: R541) had already tentatively assigned the holotype of Eryon yehoachi to Squilla; thus, recognition that it belonged within the Stomatopoda and not the Decapoda had been recognized for quite some time. Later, Ahyong (2008) synonymized Ursquillidae Hof, 1998, with Squillidae based upon comprehensive phylogenetic analysis including most fossils.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/815F8783F96EFFDED8B7FA03FBF3B307	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
