| The Late Pleistocene Port Morant Formation of southeast Jamaica is particularly rich in fossil marine crustaceans. A new locality on the west side of Port Morant Harbour, parish of St. Thomas, has yielded decapods including the callianassids Lepidophthalmus jamaicense? (Schmitt ), Neocallichirus peraensis Collins et al. and Neocallichirus? sp.; anomurans Petrochirus bahamensis (Herbst) and Paguristes sp. cf. P. lymanni A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier; and brachyurans Hepatus praecox Collins et al., Persephona sp., Mithrax acuticornis Stimpson, Mithrax verrucosus H. Milne Edwards, Mithraculus forceps A. Milne-Edwards, aff. Hyas sp., Portunus vocans (A. Milne-Edwards), Achelous sebae (H. Milne Edwards), Actaea sp. cf. A. bifrons Rathbun, Actaea acantha (H.... |

| Crustaceans remain poorly known from the Miocene of Jamaica. Herein, we report three species from the upper Miocene August Town Formation of Fowl House Spring, parish of St. Thomas, southeast Jamaica; poorly preserved propodi of a mud shrimp, “Callianassa” sp.; the anterior part of the carapace of Mithraculus sp. aff. Mithraculus coryphe (Herbst); and the cirripede Tetraclita sp. cf. T. stalactifera (Lamarck). Mithraculus sp. aff. M. coryphe at Fowl House Spring considerably extends the stratigraphic occurrence of the genus in the Antillean region down into the Miocene. Hitherto, fossil T. stalactifera in the Caribbean was known from the Plio-Pleistocene of Curaçao and the Pleistocene of Venezuela. |
