COMMENTS

Three species of Glyphea are described at present from the Solnhofen Lithographic Limestones, G. pseudoscyllarus , G. tenuis Oppel, 1860 and G. viohli Polz, 2000 . The studied specimens have been ascribed to G. pseudoscyllarus for the chela of pereiopod 1 with longitudinal parallel ridges strongly spinose (chela of pereiopod 1 without ridges and with poorly tuberculate surface both in G. tenuis and G. viohli ).
