Presence of Zanthopsis M’Coy, 1849 (crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) in the Early Eocene of Iran, and Comments on the Different Species And/or Morphotypes and Their Palaeobiogeography
Annales de paléontologie(2023)
摘要
In the present work, we report the discovery of several carapaces of Zanthopsis sp. from the Lower Eocene of Central Iran, which represent the easternmost record of the genus. In addition, we discuss on the similarities of the different species and/or morphotypes of the genus, and conclude that the European species could be ascribed to the "Zanthopsis leachii complex", until future works determine the validity of the species therein contained. In this sense, Zanthopsis jacobi Van Straelen, 1924, in agreement with Artal and Via (1988), is herein considered a junior synonymous of Z. dufouri (H. Milne Edwards in d'Archiac, 1850). The presence of Zanthopsis in the lower Eocene of Iran suggests homogeneity of the brachyuran fauna on both sides of the Tethys Realm. (c) 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
