Abstract
Discovery of a single specimen of fossil freshwater crayfish from the Miocene Dunstan Formation in Central Otago, New Zealand, permits description of Paranephrops fordycei n. sp. The specimen, a nearly entire molted carapace and abdomen, represents the first occurrence of this genus, and the family Parastacidae, in the fossil record.Keywords
