Biology:Cryptocaris
From HandWiki
Cryptocaris is an extinct, monospecific genus of remipedes in the family Tesnusocarididae.[1] It lived in what are now the Mazon Creek fossil beds in Illinois during the Middle Pennsylvanian.[2]
The type and only species is C. hootchi.[1]
Classification
Cryptocaris was described by Frederick Schram in 1974, and was initially placed in the suborder Monokonophora.[3] It was then reassigned to the extinct suborder Anthracocaridomorpha and placed in its own family, Cryptocarididae, in 1986.[1]
Then, in 1991, it and Tesnusocaris were recognized as remipedes. The family Tesnusocarididae was erected to house both genera, with Tesnusocaris becoming the family's type genus, and Cryptocarididae a synonym of the family.[1][4]
