A key is provided for the identification of these 17 species.

A new species

– We present an updated classification for the entire Crustacea Decapoda, listing all known families and genera organized by higher taxonomic groups and including estimates of the number of species in every genus. All taxonomic names are also linked to the verified literature in which they were described, the first compilation of its kind for the Decapoda. To arrive at this compilation, we began with the classification scheme provided by Martin & Davis (2001) for extant families, updated the higher classification and included the fossil taxa. The resultant framework was then populated with the currently valid genera and an estimate of species numbers within each genus. Our resulting classification, spanning both extant (living) and fossil taxa, is the first comprehensive estimate of taxonomic diversity within the entire Decapoda. The classification consists of 233 families of decapods containing 2,725 genera and an estimated 17,635 species (including both extant and fossil species). Of the families in our classification, 53 are exclusively fossil, 109 contain both fossil and extant species, and 71 are extant only. The current estimate for extant species is 14,756, whereas 2,979 species are known exclusively as fossils.

Systematic List of Fossil Decapod Crustacean Species

The high level classification of the Galatheoidea, popularly known as squat lobsters, has been relatively stable for almost a century Multiple recent studies of their interrelationships, however, have revealed significant incongruities between the traditional classification and phylogeny The Aeglidae, Chirostylidae and Kiwaidae were recently removed to other superfamilies On the basis of previous phylogenetic analyses, we herein revise the higher classification of the remaining Galatheoidea to comprise four families: Galatheidae, Munididae fam nov, Munidopsidae, and Porcellanidae The galatheoid families are both morphologically and ecologically distinct Members of the Munidopsidae are distinguished by the absence or reduction of the maxilliped 1 flagellum and usually occur in outer slope or abyssal habitats Members of the Munididae fam nov are united by the trifid or trispinous anterior margin of the carapace and usually occur at outer shelf or slope depths The Galatheidae includes primarily shallow water species, united by a broad, triangular rostrum, and is most closely related to the porcelain crabs, Porcellanidae The families of the Galatheoidea are diagnosed and a diagnostic key provided Extant and fossil genera are listed for each galatheoid squat lobster family

A new classification of the Galatheoidea (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura)

The report of decapod crustaceans from the "Hamada des Kem Kem" slope (SE Morocco) has previously been limited to only one report by Garassino et al. (2006). The recent disco- very of macrurans, anomurans, and brachyurans from a new quarry, located at the top of a small mesa called Gara Sbaa, increases the carcinologic knowledge from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian- Turonian) of this area. The macruran specimens include Cretapenaeus berberus Garassino, Pasini & Dutheil, 2006 (Penaeidae Rafi nesque-Schmaltz, 1815) and Glyphea garasbaaensis n. sp. (Glypheidae Zittel, 1885). The anomuran specimens include Galathea sahariana n. sp., Paragalathea africana n. sp., and Cretagalathea exigua n. gen., n. sp. (Galatheidae Samouelle, 1819). The brachyuran speci- mens include Corazzatocarcinus cfr. C. hadjoulae (Roger, 1946) (Necrocarcinidae Forster, 1968) and Telamonocarcinus cfr. T. gambalatus Larghi, 2004 (Dorippidae MacLeay, 1838) recently described from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Lebanon.

New decapod assemblage from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian-Turonian) of Gara Sbaa, southeastern Morocco

We report an unusual and rich decapod crustacean assemblage from the early Pliocene (Zanclean), recently collected during the excavations of the “La Serra” quarry, located in La Serra, near San Miniato, Pisa (Toscana, central Italy). The studied specimens have been assigned, as follows: Axius sp., Callianassa chalmasii Brocchi, 1883 , and Calliaxina cf. C. punica ( de Saint Laurent and Manning, 1982 ) (infraorder Axiidea de Saint Laurent, 1979); Gebiacantha tuscia Garassino, Pasini, De Angeli and Charbonnier sp. nov. (infraorder Gebiidea de Saint Laurent, 1979); Pagurus alatus Fabricius, 1775 , and Pagurus sp. (infraorder Anomura MacLeay, 1838); Dromia neogenica Muller, 1978 , Dromia sp., Medorippe cf. M. ampla Garassino, De Angeli, Gallo and Pasini, 2004, Ilia nucleus ( Linnaeus, 1758 ), Ristoria pliocaenica (Ristori, 1891), Pisa armata ( Latreille, 1803 ), Macropodia sp., Maja squinado (Herbst, 1788), Derilambrus angulifrons ( Latreille, 1825 ), Atelecyclus undecimdentatus (Herbst, 1783), Liocarcinus sp., Thalamita italica Garassino, Pasini, De Angeli and Charbonnier sp. nov., Pilumnus cf. P. hirtellus (Linnaeus, 1761), Eriphia cocchii Ristori, 1886 , Goneplax rhomboides ( Linnaeus, 1758 ), Goneplax sacci Crema, 1895 , (infraorder Brachyura Linnaeus, 1758 ). Moreover, two specimens have been assigned to callianassideans sensu lato and 13 specimens to indeterminate axiideans. Calliaxina Ngoc-Ho, 2003 , Gebiacantha Ngoc-Ho, 1989 , Ristoria Garassino, Pasini, De Angeli and Charbonnier gen. nov., and Macropodia Leach, 1814, are reported for the first time in the fossil record and the extant Pagurus alatus, Ilia nucleus, Pisa armata, Derilambrus angulifrons, and Pilumnus cf. P. hirtellus, are reported in the fossil record from the Pliocene. Everywhere “La Serra” quarry bio-community is very important, representing one of the richest and most diversified crustacean faunas from the Pliocene reported to date in the Mediterranean basin and worldwide, increasing notably the knowledge on the decapod populations and distribution during the early Pliocene. This community is indicative of a palaeoenvironment of shallow sublittoral water, with sandy-muddy and alternate hard shell bottom, partially covered or in proximity of seagrass, similar to the extant Mediterranean Posidonia beds, mainly inhabited by fossorial and benthonic decapods.

The decapod community from the Early Pliocene (Zanclean) of “La Serra” quarry (San Miniato, Pisa, Toscana, central Italy): sedimentology, systematics, and palaeoenvironmental implications

Anomurans and brachyurans from Tuscany have previously been reported by Cappellini (1874), Fucini (1910), Ristori (1886, 1888, 1891, 1892, 1896), Vinassa de Regny (1897), and Delle Cave (1988a, b). The recent discovery of new anomurans and brachyurans from some localities in Pisa, Livorno, Siena, and Grosseto provinces increases the carcinologic knowledge from the Cenozoic of Italy. The infraorder Anomura H. Milne Edwards, 1832, includes Callianassa cfr. C. subterranea (Montagu, 1808) and C. chalmasii Brocchi, 1882 (Callianassidae Dana, 1852); Dardanus substriatus (A. Milne Edwards, 1861) (Diogenidae Ortmann, 1892). The infraorder Brachyura Latreille, 1802, includes Lysirude paronae (Crema, 1895) and Raninoides pliocenicus n. sp. (Raninidae De Haan, 1839); Medorippe ampla Garassino, De Angeli, Gallo & Pasini, 2004 (Dorippidae MacLeay, 1838); Ethusa popognensis n. sp. (Ethusidae Guinot, 1977); Calappa granulate (Linnaeus, 1758) (Calappidae H. Milne Edwards, 1837); Ebalia cfr. E. deshayesi Lucas, 1846, E. cranchii Leach, 1817, E. fucinii Ristori, 1892, Ilia pliocenica Ristori, 1891, and Palaeomyra bispinosa A. Milne Edwards, 1861 (Leucosiidae Samouelle, 1819); Liocarcinus sp. (Poriunidae Rafinesque, 1815); Monodaeus bortolottii Delle Cave, 1988 (Xanthidae MacLeay, 1838); Pilumnus ristorii new replacement name for P spinosus Ristori, 1886 (Pilumnidae Samouelle, 1819); Eriphia cocchii Ristori, 1886 (Eriphiidae MacLeay, 1838); Goneplax gulderi Bachmayer, 1953 (Goneplacidae MacLeay, 1838); Astenognathus sp. (Varunidae H. Milne Edwards, 1853). The discovery of Raninoides H. Milne Edwards, 1837, is very important because it represents the first report of this genus in the Pliocene of Europe.

New reports of anomurans and brachyurans from the Cenozoic of Tuscany (Italy)

Decapod macrurans from the Upper Jurassic are reported from Jabaloyas and Cedrillas villages (Teruel, Aragon). The studied specimens have been ascribed to the infraorder Astacidea Latreille, 1802, including Jabaloya aragonensis n. gen., n. sp. (Mecochiridae Van Straelen, 1925) and Cedrillosia jurassica n. gen., n. sp. (Glypheidae Zittel, 1885). The new taxa enlarge the knowledge of the macruran fauna from the Jurassic of Spain.

Jabaloya aragonensis n. gen., n. sp. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Mecochiridae) and Cedrillosia jurassica n. gen., n. sp. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Glypheidae) from the Upper Jurassic of Teruel Province (Aragon, Spain)

The discovery of decapod crustaceans from the Cenozoic of the Piedmont Region (NW Italy) was until now limited to reports by A. Sismonda (1839), E. Sismonda (1846, 1861), Ristori (1886, 1889), Crema (1895), Allasinaz (1987), Marangon & De Angeli (1997), De Angeli & Marangon (2001, 2003) and Larghi (2003). The recent discovery of brachyurans and anomurans from some localities in Novara, Asti, Alessandria and Biella provinces increases the carcinologic knowledge from the Cenozoic of Italy. The studied specimens are assigned to species already known in other Italian regions and to a new species. The brachyuran specimens include: Lysirude paronae (Crema, 1895) (family Raninidae De Haan, 1841), Calappa granulata (Linnaeus, 1758) (family Calappidae H. Milne Edwards, 1837), Ilia pliocaenica Ristori, 1891a, and Palaeomyra bispinosa A. Milne Edwards, 1861 (family Leucosiidae Samouelle, 1819), Carcinus sp. and Liocarcinus cfr. L. rakosensis (Lorenthey & Beurlen, 1929) (family Portunidae Rafinesque, 1815), Coeloma vigil A. Milne Edwards, 1865 (family Geryonidae Colosi, 1924), Eriphia sp. (family Xanthidae MacLeay, 1838), Pilumnus sp. (family Pilumnidae Samouelle, 1819), Goneplax rhomboides (Linnaeus, 1758) and Chlinocephalus demissifrons Ristori, 1886 (family Goneplacidae MacLeay, 1838). Moreover, two well-preserved carapaces, discovered near Cocconato (Asti), are ascribed to the living genus Medorippe Manning & Holthuis, 1981, as M. ampla n. sp. (family Dorippidae MacLeay, 1838). It is the second report of this genus in Italy. Some incomplete specimens of anomurans, discovered in Masserano and Cossato localities (Biella), are ascribed to Pagurus sp. (family Paguridae Latreille, 1802).
