Family ASTACIDAE 



Genus HOLOPARIA McCoy 



The following species are referred to this genus with due reserve, as 

 until the cephalothorax is known their exact position in the Astacoid 

 series must remain doubtful. The specific characters of the fossils, how- 

 ever, may be readily appreciated ; and the definition of the species may call 

 attention to the matter and lead someone to search for the missing parts.
