Von Meyer, who, in 1835, formed his genus Glyphea of these 
species, afterwards, in the ‘ Paleontographica,’ 1. p. 141, 
ficured, under the name of Selenisca speciosa, a specimen from 
the White Jura of Tuttlingen, which seems to approach our 
Orphnea ornata.” Glyphea ventrosa 8, Quenst., according to 
von Meyer, is a Klytia; and G. Veltheimii, Quenst., cannot 
be a Glyphea, as he speaks of slender pincers and a long 
finger. 
fe in 1858, Etallon published (Bull. Soc. Géol. Fr. sér. 2, 
xvi. p. 182) descriptions of the fossil Crustacea of the Haute- 
Sadne and Haut-Jura. The species described by him are for the 
most part fromthe “terrainachailles.” He characterized,among 
others, the genus Glyphea, and remarked that, notwithstanding 
the characters in which it approaches Pemphix and Palinurus, 
the external lamina of the antenne and the mobility of the 
last segment of the thorax must cause them to be kept with 
the Astacians. The genus was too much enlarged by Miin- 
ster, who included in it species now referred to Clyiia and 
Eryma. Taking as types the species found in the “ chailles ” 
of the Haute-Sadne, the characteristic forms occur from the 
Lias to the Kimmeridgian ; some species have a wide distri-. 
bution; and many occur in several stages. Etallon describes 
Glyphea Regleyana, Meyer, G. Miinsteri, Meyer, G. rostrata, 
M‘Coy, and G. Udressiert, Meyer—the last identical with 
Palinurus squammifer, K. Desi. 
In 1860 Hermann von Meyer* wrote on the subject of 
Etallon’s researches, and discussed some of his results. In 
the same year appeared Oppel’s note on the species of the 
genera Glyphea and Pseudoglypheat, in which he points out 
that the Glyphee of Miinster belong to Eryma, Meyer, along 
with Aura, Minst., K/ytia, Meyer, and Pustulina, Quenst., 
while Glyphea, Meyer, includes Orphnea and Brisa, Miunst., 
and Selenisca, Meyer. 
This paper was preliminary to a great memoir on the Ju- 
rassic Crustacea, published by Oppelin his ‘ Paliontologische 
Mittheilungen,’ in 1862, in which he fully characterized the 
genus G'lyphea, to which he referred the following twenty-four 
species :— 
1. G. Heeri, Opp., from the Lias of Schambelen. 
2. G. major, Opp., with the preceding. 
3. G. alpina, Opp. Lias of the Alps. 
4, G. lasina, Meyer. 
5. G. Terquemi, Opp. Middle Lias, Moselle.
