Abstract

Panulirus destombesi n. sp. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Palinuridae) from the Albian (Lower Cretaceous) of Wissant (Pas-de-Calais, France).

One single decapod palinurid lobster from the Lower Cretaceous (Albian) is reported from Wissant (Pas-de-Calais, France). The studied specimen has been ascribed to the infraorder Achelata Scholtz & Richter, 1995, and named Panulirus destombesi n. sp. (Palinuridae Latreille, 1802). It is the first report of the Recent genus Panulirus White, 1847 in the fossil record, enlarging our knowledge of Lower Cretaceous palinurids.

Un spécimen unique de langouste (Decapoda, Palinuridae) a été recueilli dans l'Albien (Crétacé inférieur) de Wissant (Pas-de-Calais, France). Le spécimen a été assigné à l'infra-ordre des Achelata Scholtz & Richter, 1995, et nommé Panulirus destombesi n. sp. (Palinuridae Latreille, 1802). C'est la première mention d'un fossile appartenant au genre actuel Panulirus White, 1847, ce qui enrichit notre connaissance des Palinuridae du Crétacé inférieur.
