Treatment

Genus Palaeastacus Bell, 1850

TYPE SPECIES. — Astacus sussexiensis Mantell, 1824, by subsequent designation of Glaessner(1929).

Palaeastacus fuciformis ( Schlotheim, 1822) ( Fig. 7 View FIG A-C)

STUDIED MATERIAL. — Charbonnier & Garassino (2012) mentioned three specimens: two from Solnhofen (MNHN.F.B13449; MNHN. GG.2004/8245) and one from an unknown locality (MNHN. GG.2004/7998-8106). We do not change their attribution .

COMMENTS

Since only one specimen (MNHN.F.B13449) was figured by Charbonnier & Garassino (2012), we additionally figure the specimen MNHN.GG.2004/8245 ( Fig. 7 View FIG A-C), which is particularly well-preserved; notably, the ornamentation is nearly complete.
