Stenochirus
''Stenochirus'' is an extinct genus of Decapoda, decapod crustaceans that lived from the Callovian to Tithonian stages of the Jurassic period. Its fossils have been found in Germany and France. Discovery and naming Remains of ''Stenochirus'' have been described before the genus was named. Georg zu Münster established the genus ''Bolina'' in 1839 and assigned to species to it, ''B. angusta'' and ''B. pustulosa'' (the type species), both originating from the Tithonian-aged Solnhofen Limestone in Bavaria. 22 years later in 1861, Albert Oppel points out that the genus name ''Bolina'' is preoccupied by a cnidarian, and reassigns the two species into separate genera. He erects the new genera ''Stenochirus'' and ''Pseudastacus'', which ''B. angusta'' and ''B. pustulosa'' became the type species of respectively, the former now renamed as ''Stenochirus angustus''. In addition to the type species, two other species have been assigned to the genus. Oppel described a second species in 1862 ...
