Genus Orithopsis Carter, 1872 Orithopsis Carter, 1872: 530. Type species. Necrocarcinus tricarinatus Bell, 1863, by monotypy (= Orithopsis bonneyi Carter, 1872). Species included. Orithopsis angelica (Fraaije, 2002) (Fig. 22G), O. carinata (Feldmann, Tshudy & Thomson, 1993), O. ? iserica (Fritsch in Fritsch & Kafka, 1887), O. ? youngi (Bishop, 1983c), O. siouxensis (Feldmann, Awotua & Welshenbaugh, 1976), O. ? transiens (Fritsch in Fritsch & Kafka, 1887), and O. tricarinata (Bell, 1863). Remarks. Schweitzer et al . (2010: 82) listed only O. bonneyi and O. tricarinatus [ sic ] for Orithopsis . The synonymy of these two taxa had previously been, however, discussed at length by Wright & Collins (1972), Collins (2003) and Guinot et al . (2008); our examination of the types of both taxa substantiates that view. Larghi (2004: 530) stated that Orithopsis was one of the genera most similar to Corazzatocarcinus and separated them by the ‘marked hexagonal outline and distinct epibranchial lobes’ of Orithopsis . Reduction of both P4 and P 5 in Corazzatocarcinus sets it apart from Orithopsis and excludes it from Orithopsidae. : Published as part of Van Bakel, Barry W.
