    Abstract:
    Mecochirid lobsters assigned to the genus Pseudoglyphea Oppel, 1861 have previously been recorded from several localities in Europe. In this paper Pseudoglyphea foersteri sp. nov. is described from the Lower Jurassic of Raasay, Inner Hebrides, Scotland, providing the first evidence of a vagile benthic predator/scavenger in the Scalpa Sandstone Formation. Re‐examination of the systematic placement of the genus supports allying the Mecochiridae with the Glypheidae within the Astacidea, not the Palinura as traditionally done.

    Repandocosta, a new Cretaceous and Tertiary ostracode genus
    Journal of Paleontology (1967)
    Joseph E. Hazel
    The new genus Repandocosta is described for twelve North American and at least three European ostracode species that have been placed mainly in Trachyleberidea or Cythereis. Cythereis pauca Schmidt, 1948, is designated as the type species. The new genus has a stratigraphic range in North America of Coniacian [Cretaceous] to upper Eocene; in Europe it is known from middle Paleocene to upper Oligocene.
