title = "PALAEOGENE AND NEOGENE BRACHYURANS OF THE AMAZON BASIN: A REVISED FIRST APPEARANCE DATE FOR PRIMARY FRESHWATER CRABS (BRACHYURA, TRICHODACTYLIDAE)",
abstract = "We describe claw fragments of fossil primary freshwater crabs from three areas in the Amazon basin, Tarapoto (Early Oligocene) and Contamana (Middle Eocene to early Late Miocene) in Peru, and Eirunep{\'e} (Late Miocene) in Brazil. All these fragments most likely belong to the family Trichodactylidae. We show a continuous presence of primary freshwater crabs in proto-Amazonian lowlands from the Middle Eocene to the Late Miocene and can thus shift the earliest appearance date of freshwater-adapted brachyurans into the Eocene, at least in the Neotropics.",
