Remarks

Cenomanocarcinus simplex Remy, 1960 ( Remy 1960: 56, 63, fig. 1, pl. 3, fig. 3), Eocene (probably) of Ivory Coast, differs from C. inflatus View in CoL , C. vanstraeleni View in CoL and C. oklahomensis by the carapace having a very low number of tubercles and lacking the characteristic ridges of Cenomanocarcinus View in CoL , in particular the epibranchial ridge, and by showing only two elongate, very raised axial (gastric and cardiac) tubercles. In addition, the orbits are widely separated by a broad rostrum. These morphological differences lead us to exclude C. simplex from Cenomanocarcinus View in CoL , as well from the Cenomanocarcinidae View in CoL n. fam. and the Podotremata. Its affinities are with calappoids such as Mursia View in CoL

Desmarest, 1823 or related genera.
