REMARKS

The crab found by Artal & Gilles (2007: 8, fig. 2F) in the Miocene of Pignan (southeastern France) and without a specific assignment, is known only from a photograph of the carapace. Its posterior border, concave in the middle, seems strongly rimmed, a feature not typical of extant ethusids but which seems more common in fossil representatives, unless the fossils considered to be ethusids turn out to be dorippids. The shape of the carapace suggests that it is an Ethusidae .
