Fenner A. Chace Jr.
Fenner Albert Chace Jr. (October 5, 1908 – May 30, 2004) was an American carcinologist. Life Fenner Albert Chace Jr. was born in Fall River, Massachusetts. He attended Harvard University, and received his doctorate in 1934, and became a curator at that university's Museum of Comparative Zoology. After the start of World War II, he worked as a civilian for the Army Air Force oceanographic group, and later commissioned as an officer. His unit was dismantled, and he was reassigned to the US Navy Hydrographic Office. He worked to produce cloth survival charts to be used by aviators lost at sea. After the war, he succeeded Waldo L. Schmitt at the United States National Museum. He worked at the National Museum until his retirement in 1978, and then he continued as '' Zoologist Emeritus''. He was "one of the most influential carcinologists of the 20th century", and named 200 taxa in the Decapoda and Stomatopoda, most of them shrimp. Taxa Taxa named by Fenner A. Chace include: *' ...

Shrimp
Shrimp are crustaceans (a form of shellfish) with elongated bodies and a primarily swimming mode of locomotion – most commonly Caridea and Dendrobranchiata of the decapod order, although some crustaceans outside of this order are referred to as "shrimp". More narrow definitions may be restricted to Caridea, to smaller species of either group or to only the marine species. Under a broader definition, ''shrimp'' may be synonymous with prawn, covering stalk-eyed swimming crustaceans with long, narrow muscular tails (abdomens), long whiskers ( antennae), and slender legs. Any small crustacean which resembles a shrimp tends to be called one. They swim forward by paddling with swimmerets on the underside of their abdomens, although their escape response is typically repeated flicks with the tail driving them backwards very quickly. Crabs and lobsters have strong walking legs, whereas shrimp have thin, fragile legs which they use primarily for perching.Rudloe & Rudloe (2009 ...

Procaridoidea
Procarididea is an infraorder of decapods, comprising only eleven species. Six of these are in the genera ''Procaris'' and '' Vetericaris'', which together make up the family Procarididae. The remaining five species are only known from fossils and belong to the genus ''Udora'', which cannot yet be assigned to any family. The cladogram below shows Procarididea's relationships to other relatives within Decapoda The Decapoda or decapods (literally "ten-footed") are an order of crustaceans within the class Malacostraca, including many familiar groups, such as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp and prawns.

Physetocaris Microphthalma
''Physetocaris'' is a monotypic genus of caridean shrimp, containing a single species, ''Physetocaris microphthalma''. Systematics ''Physetocaris microphthalma'' is placed in its own family (Physetocarididae) and superfamily (Physetocaridoidea). The genus and species were described in 1940 by Fenner A. Chace Jr. Description Adults have no eyes, and are missing the last segment of the first pereiopod, which is therefore unable to form a claw. They also have reduced gills and mouthparts, and no exopods on the pereiopods. The carapace is enlarged, and forms a tall rostrum. Distribution ''P. microphthalma'' is rare, with only 35 specimens counted in a 1985 review. Although very poorly known, the distribution of ''Physetocaris'' appears to be very wide. In addition to specimens from both western and eastern parts of the Atlantic Ocean, it has been found in the southern Pacific Ocean The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five oceanic divisions.
