First report of caridean shrimps, crabs (Decapoda) and mysidaceans (Peracarida) from the middle–late Miocene of Sakhalin Island, Russia

The fossil impressions of tubes belonging to the bristle worms of the family Pectinariidae and probably the genus Pectinaria Savigny, 1818 was found at the coastal cliffs of the Tartar Strait (Southern Sakhalin) in deposits of the late Miocene Kurasi Formation. Rare mentions of findings of impressions of the polychaetes tubes perhaps may be explained by the fact that such impressions are misidentified as fossils of animals from other higher taxa. Some new data on the bionomics of the recent pectinariids are given and some taphonomical aspects of the group are considered.

We report Palaemon monsdamarum n. sp. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Palaemonidae) from the tripoli of the Messinian (upper Miocene) of Mondaino (Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, Italy). The presence of a new caridean species expands the scarce knowledge on the distribution and environmental range for the genus, usually scarcely reported in the worldwide Cenozoic fossil record. This is the first report of a carideans from the Miocene of Italy.

First Report

We report a coral-associated decapods from the early Messinian (Late Miocene) of Acquabona, Rosignano Marittimo, Livorno (Toscana, Italy). This study allowed to identify these species, as follows: Galathea cfr. G. squamifera Leach, 1814 (Galatheidae Samouelle, 1819), Pisi-dia kokayi (Müller, 1974) (Porcellanidae Haworth, 1825), Pilumnus cfr. P. mediterraneus (Lőrenthey, 1897) (Pilumnidae Samouelle, 1819), Actaea calzadai Müller, 1984, Xantho moldavicus (Yanakevich, 1977), Haydnella cfr. H. steiningeri Müller, 1984, and Liomera bagaglioi n. sp. (Xanthidae MacLeay, 1838). The studied fauna has some affinities with the Miocene faunas of Mediterranean area, especially with the fauna from the Neogene of Catalonia (Spain). It is the first report of coral-associated decapods from the Miocene of Italy.
