GARASSINO, Alessandro e PASINI, Giovanni. Calappa granulata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Calappidae) and Astiplax aspera n. gen., n. sp. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Goneplacidae) from the Asti sands Fm. (Late Pliocene) of S. Pietro (Asti, Piedmont, NW Italy). Bol. Soc. Geol. Mex [online]. 2013, vol.65, n.2, pp.329-334. ISSN 1405-3322.
Two crabs from the Pliocene sands of S. Pietro (Asti, Piedmont, NW Italy) have been assigned to Calappa granulata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Calappidae De Haan, 1833) and to Astiplax aspera n. gen., n. sp. (Goneplacidae MacLeay, 1838). Although C. granulata has already been reported from the Pliocene of other Italian regions, the Piedmont specimen represents one of the most complete carapaces known to date in the fossil record of this extant species. The discovery of Astiplax n. gen., with A. aspera n. sp. increases the number of species of Goneplacidae from the Pliocene of Italy, limited to Goneplax rhomboides (Linnaeus, 1758) and G. sacci Crema, 1895.
