Abstract

We report the glypheoid lobster, Glypheopsis robusta (Feldmann & McPherson, 1980) (Glypheidae Zittel, 1885) from the Middle Jurassic (Bajocian – Bathonian) of British Columbia. The fossil record of this species is very rare in Canada, limited to date to the type locality located in the Prince Patrick Island (Northwest Territories). This new report enlarges the palaeogeographic distribution of this species, representing the second occurrence in North America.
