Acadiocaris

Acadiocaris is an extinct genus of malacostracan crustacean that existed in Canada during the Upper Jurassic period.[1] It was first named by Brooks in 1962,[2] and contains the species Acadiocaris novascotica,[3] named by Copeland in 1957[4] for the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The genus Acadiocaris and its sister genera, Anthracocaris and Ophthalmapseudes, are placed in the family Acadiocarididae in order Tanaidacea.[5] The family was originally considered a Spelaeogriphacean.[1][6]
