Description

Genus Ostenocaris Arduini, Pinna & Teruzzi, 1984

Type species

Ostenia cypriformis Arduini, Pinna & Teruzzi, 1980 by monotypy.

Diagnosis

Thylacocephalan with a sinuous anterior margin ending in a sharp antero-dorsal corner. Large oval eyes protruding from the anterior margin. Medio and dorso-lateral carina present on the shield. Large raptorial appendages bearing short spines.

Other included species

Ostenocaris ribeti (Secrétan, 1985) comb. nov. – Callovian, Middle Jurassic, France.

Remarks

Arduini et al (1980) did not provide a diagnosis for Ostenocaris. They just mentioned that the description of Ostenocaris was “coinciding with that of the type species” (Arduini et al. 1980: 362). Concerning the type species, they just described the original species without providing a proper diagnosis.
