Resumen
GAšPARIč, Rok; TSHUDY, Dale; CHAN, Tin-Yam y ĆORIć, Stjepan. A new deepwater lobster, Metanephrops serendipitus sp. nov. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Nephropidae), from lower Miocene of Meljski hrib (Maribor, Slovenia). Bol. Soc. Geol. Mex [online]. 2021, vol.73, n.3, 00007. Epub 31-Ene-2022. ISSN 1405-3322. https://doi.org/10.18268/bsgm2021v73n3a240521.
A new species of nephropid lobster, Metanephrops serendipitus sp. nov., is described from the lower Miocene (Ottnangian/Karpatian) in beds of Central Paratethys. Metanephrops serendipitus sp. nov. represents the first fossil representative of the genus from the northern hemisphere and thus extends its known palaeobiogeo-graphical distribution. Additionally, the palaeoecology of the new species is discussed. Similar to extant species of Metanephrops, the fossil nephropid inhabited a fine-grained deep-sea environment, associated with frequent brittle stars.
