Genus Bathynomus A. Milne-Edwards, 1879 View in CoL
Type species: Bathynomus giganteus A. Milne-Edwards, 1879 View in CoL , by monotypy.
Remarks: The single specimen shows the ‘key’ characters for taxonomic attribution to the genus Bathynomus , namely a semicircular pleotelson with sinuous lateral margins and distinct, approximately subequal, spines on its posterior margin, not exceeding the number of 13 ( Hyžný et al. 2013). The number and arrangement of pleotelsonic spines together with the shape of uropod rami allow erection of a new species based on the studied fossil specimen.
