Additional records of decapod crustaceans from the lowerPleistocene beds of Poggi Gialli (Tuscany, central Italy)
Additional species of decapod crustaceans are recorded from the lower Pleistocene beds exposed at the Poggi Gialli quarries (Sinalunga, Tuscany, central Italy). They include Galathea tuscia sp. nov., Ilia sp., Liocarcinus cf. L. maculatus (Risso, 1827), and Aliaplax tyrsenorum gen. nov., sp. nov....

| Summary: | Additional species of decapod crustaceans are recorded from the lower Pleistocene beds exposed at the Poggi
Gialli quarries (Sinalunga, Tuscany, central Italy). They include Galathea tuscia sp. nov., Ilia sp., Liocarcinus
cf. L. maculatus (Risso, 1827), and Aliaplax tyrsenorum gen. nov., sp. nov. Novel morphological details for
Distolambrus rasnus De Angeli, Garassino & Pasini in Baldanza, Bizzarri, De Angeli, Famiani, Garassino,
Pasini & Pizzolato, 2017, based on a single newly collected specimen, are added, as is the rare record of an
indeterminate nephropid. These additions augment our knowledge of the composition of carcinological faunas
in this peculiar environment from the early Pleistocene of central Italy. An updated list of decapod crustacean
species from Poggi Gialli is also provided herein. |
