INTRODUCTION
Decapod crustaceans, the shrimp, lobsters, squat lobsters, and crabs have
a geologic record extending from the Middle Devonian (Schram et al., 1978)
to the present. Although they are rarely the most abundant fossils in an as-
semblage,theyareimportantelementsinmanymarine,aquatic,andterrestrial
ecosystems.Mostareopportunisticorganisms,whosefeedingpatternsinclude
scavenging, grazing, and predation. In addition to terrestrial and aquatic set-
tings, modern decapods occupy nearly all marine habitats ranging from hy-
drothermalventcommunitiesonthedeepseafloortointertidalandsupratidal
environments. They may occupy infaunal or epifaunal benthic settings or be
nectonic. Because of this wide range of habitat preferences, studies of biodi-
versityandtrophicorganizationwouldbeincompletewithoutconsideringthis
speciesgroup.
Decapods are extremely rare in Paleozoic rocks, they increased in num-
ber and variety rapidly in the Mesozoic, and they exhibited great diversity in
rocksrangingfromEocenetothepresentday.Fossildecapodshavefascinated
naturalhistoriansandpaleontologistssincethelate18th Century,andthrough-
out the 19th Century the number of recognized genera and species increased
rapidly. Inevitably, the limitations of literature availability and international
communicationresultedinaproliferationofnames,manyofwhichwerelater
judged to be synonymous. The first major attempt to sort out synonymous
names and to catalogue the then-known species was that of M. F.Glaessner’s
“CrustaceaDecapoda”,publishedin1929asPart41ofFossiliumCatalogusI:
Animalia,editedbyJ.F.Pompeckj.Thismonumentalworkrecognizedabout
1349 species of fossil decapods arrayed in about 317 genera and stands as
the primary entrée into older paleontological literature even today. This work
provided ages, geographic distributions, classification, and synonymies of all
knownfossildecapods.
Placement of fossil decapods in higher taxa has been a straightforward ex-
erciseforthoseforms,primarilyCenozoicinage,thatexhibitveryclosemor-
phological affinities with extant forms. However, many ancient decapods are
morphologically quite distinctly dissimilar from known modern animals and,
therefore, they pose special problems in classification. Modern classification
of Decapoda is largely based upon characters of the anatomy that only rarely

arepreservedinthefossilrecord,suchasthemaxillipedsandthereproductive

preservedonfossilsandrelatethoseattributestocomparablefeaturesonextant
forms. These so-called proxy characters (Schweitzer, 2003) provide a bridge
that permits enriching our understanding of decapod history by placement of
fossil taxa within classification schemes developed solely for extant forms.
One effort to do so has been widely accepted and is cited in both paleonto-
logical and neontological studies, M. F. Glaessner’s “Decapoda”, published
in 1969 as Part R, Arthropoda 4, Volume 2 of the “Treatise on Invertebrate
Paleontology”, edited by R. C. Moore. This work included a classification of
generaintosupragenericranks,butitdoesnotpresentacomprehensivelisting
of species. The two works by Glaessner (1929, 1969) have formed the major
basesforresearchonfossildecapodsoverthepastfourdecades.
In the past four decades, the volume of literature on fossil decapods has
grownatarapidpaceashasthestudyoflivingforms.Asaresult,thenumber
offossildecapodshasincreasedenormouslysince1929andtheclassification
ofextantdecapodshaschangeddramaticallyfromtheclassificationproposed
by Glaessner (1969). Our current work, as of the first quarter of 2009, lists
3270 species of decapods arrayed within 916 genera and 178 families. An
analysis of the history of classification is not relevant here, but suffice it
that one recent classification has emerged as a platform for modern studies
(Martin & Davis, 2001). Their classification was developed as a consensus
arrangement resulting from consultation and input from carcinologists all
over the world, and it appears to continue to be widely used. From the
paleontological point of view, the classification suffers from not having
incorporated taxa that are now extinct. At present, therefore, paleontologists
studying decapods must rely on a massive, diffuse literature on generic
and species occurrences published since 1929 and an excellent classification
schemethatdoesnotconsiderfossiltaxa.
BecausetheclassificationofMartin&Davis(2001)didnotincludeextinct
taxa and because a large volume of systematic literature has been published
subsequently, the present work reflects a significant modification of their
classification. The purposes of this work are to present a compilation of all
species of fossil decapods known to us, to place them in a classification
framework substantially modified from that of Martin & Davis (2001), and
to provide a complete list of references to the naming of species and higher
leveltaxaemployedintheclassification.
Placement of fossil taxa into the modern classification of extant decapods
has been done in two ways, based upon studies published in the last few
