Abstract
The Cenozoic decapod crustacean fauna from West Japan comprises 153 sp ecies in 90 genera. Selected 142 species in 84 genera of decapods, one species of a stomatopod, two species in Bathynomus (isopod), and one species of an amphipod are figured in this volume. Descriptive remarks, references, occurrences and geologic range for each species are presented. The following nine species of decapods are first recognised from Cenozoic deposits in West Japan: Neocallichirus sp. (Callianassidae) from the lower Pliocene Maja Formation, Pachycheles sp. (Porcellanidae) from the middle Miocene Mizunami Group, Epigodromia areolata (Hile) (Dromiidae), Ranilia misakiensis (Sakai) (Raninidae), Etisus splendidus Rathbun (Xanthidae) and Nursia speciosa Dana (Leucosiidae) from the upper Pleistocene Ryukyu Group,Psophelicus sp. aff. P. stridulans Wood^Mason (Goneplacidae) and Naxioides sp. (Majidae) from the upper Pliocene Kakegawa Group, and Randallia eburnea Alcock (Leucosiidae) from the upper Pliocene Masuda Formation and upper Pleistocene Ryukyu Group. Callianassa bona Imaizumi and Calliax okamotoi Karasawa are transferred to Neocalllchirus Sakai. Mursia aff. armata de Haan, reported from the upper Pliocene Kakegawa Group by Karasawa (1993), is reidentified with Mursia aff. australiensis Campbell, based on newly obtained specimens from the upper Pliocene Masuda Formation. Thirty-five decapod assemblages and their palaeoecology are summarised. The geochronological change of the Cenozoic decapod fauna, discussed by Karasawa (1993), is slightly modified.
