Part II - State of New Jersey

Rcn~arks.-The type series consists of 6 left major propodi, one ofwhich has the daetylus in place and complctc, and a pair of fingers froma left major chela. An elongated right hand having a steeply inclinedanterior margin (ANSI' No. 19731) from the hferchantville formationat Summit Bridge, Delaware, may be the minor hand of this species,but it is too distorted to permit an accurate diagnosis.Related to P. erelacens Mertin (1941, p. 209, pl. 5, figs. 13, 14, textfigs.v, w), a smaller species with a relatively longer hand, from theUpper Emseherian and Lower Senonian of northwestern Germany.Palaoopayz~rus banderensis (Rathbnn, 1935, p. 39, pl. 9, figs. 7,8. GlenRose formation, Lower Cretaceous, Texas) has a lateral profile rescmblingthat of nnr species, but has the cutting edge of the fixed fingerstrongly arched.This species is named for Dr. IIcnry A. Pilsbry in recognition of hispioneer work in the study of New Jerscy fossil deeapods.Distribution 171.

It is thickest in the upper part, andthe upper surface is well defined; t,his is furnished with three longitudinalrows of stout conical spines, one on each margin and onethrough the middle; the onter row consists of six spines, the t15.o distalsmall, the row curving do\~.nmard at middle, the spines outstanding ; theinner row also curred domn\vard consists of six larger spines, the proximalone the largest, all outstanding; five, or perhaps six, erect spines inthe shorter median row. On the flat onter surface a row of four rathersmall spines a little abovc the middle and subparallel to the marginalrow. At the proximal end near the top two small spines. On the lowerdistal quarter two isolated spines. Lolr.er surface about half as wide asupper, rounding from one sirle to the other and showing, t,liough muellbroken, traces of txvo roxs of spines; t\vo spines remain of the outer rowand two of the inner.
