Abstract

YAZDI, Mehdi et al. Miocene brachyuran Crustacea from Konar-Takhteh and Ahram sections, southwestern Iran. Bol. Soc. Geol. Mex [online]. 2013, vol.65, n.2, pp.225-233. ISSN 1405-3322.

Five species of brachyuran Crustacea from the Middle Miocene are described from the Guri Member of the Mishan Formation in southwestern Iran. The species include the leucosioids Leucosia persica; Seulosia sp. cf. S. rhomboidalis; Myra sp.; the portunoid Portunus withersi and the xanthid Demania ahramensis n. sp. The paleobiogeographic affinities of these genera reinforce previous interpretations of a wide distribution between the Persian Gulf and the Indopacific regions.

Keywords : Crustacea; Decapoda; Brachyura; Miocene; southwestern Iran.
