The marine clawed lobster genus PseudastacusOppel, 1861, previously known mainly from the Late Jurassic lithographic limestones of Bavaria (Germany), is herein recorded from the Early Jurassic (Sinemurian, c. 190-199 Ma) of France. A new species, Pseudastacus lemovices n. sp., is introduced. It is the oldest representative of the genus and of the family Stenochiridae Beurlen, 1828.
