Abstract

Three new species from the Upper Jurassic (Tithonian) Ernstbrunn Limestone, Abyssophthalmus schultzi, Planoprosopon hystricosus, and P. rhathamingus, demonstrate the variability and diversity of the Longodromitidae Schweitzer & Feldmann, 2009. More importantly, the speciose nature of genera within the Longodromitidae and other families in Late Jurassic (Tithonian) rocks suggests that niche-partitioning may have been an important evolutionary driver early in the history of the Brachyura.
