DIAGNOSIS BY
Devillez
et al.
(2018)
. — Fusiform intercalated plate; wide, deep cervical groove, joined to dorsal margin and to antennal groove; long, wide gastro-orbital groove originating as a median inflexion of cervical groove, delimiting two gastroorbital lobes; sinuous postcervical groove, joined to dorsal margin and to hepatic groove, with ventral extension at carapace mid-height; short branchio-cardiac groove, interrupted in upper part of carapace, joined to dorsal margin, not joined to postcervical groove; concavo-convex hepatic groove, joined to cervical groove; prominent ω and χ bulges; inferior groove convex posteriorly, joined to hepatic groove; carapace with heterogeneous coarse ornamentation; massive globose P1 propodus, rounded in transversal section; long and thin P1 fingers (straight in dorsal view); occlusal margins armed with sharp and slender tooth; P1 merus with strong, prominent distal process at extern side of its ventral extremity.
DISCUSSION
Recently,
Devillez
et al.
(2018)
reported a specimen identified as
Enoploclytia
sp. from the Oxfordian of
France
(
Fig. 18
). Despite its poor preservation, this fossil exhibits the typical carapace groove pattern of the genus: elongated gastro-orbital groove, with two divergent distal branches, a sinuous postcervical groove joined to the posterior extremity of the hepatic groove and not joined to the branchiocardiac groove, which is short and interrupted in the branchial region (
Fig. 18C
). This specimen is the oldest occurrence of
Enoploclytia
, and the only known in the Jurassic. Indeed,
Enoploclytia
is more typical of the Cretaceous.
