Treatment

Ethusa octospinosa Müller, 2006: 42 , pl. 1, figs 2, 3. — Schweitzer et al. 2010: 80; 2021: 3. — Van Bakel et al. 2020: fig. 10.18. — Hyžný & Dulai 2021: 165, fig. 61.1-2.

REMARKS

This species from the Miocene (Upper Badenian) of Hungary has well-developed frontal and outer orbital teeth as well as shallow grooves on carapace dorsal surface that are in favour of a true ethusid. It shares carapace proportions and ornamentation with the extant Ethusa mascarone , but E. octospinosa has a more protruding front (Hyžný & Dulai 2021: 165, figs 61.1-2 and 61.1-3a, b, respectively).
