Genus Ostenocaris Arduini, Pinna & Teruzzi, 1984
Type species
Ostenia cypriformis Arduini, Pinna & Teruzzi, 1980 by monotypy.
Diagnosis
Thylacocephalan with a sinuous anterior margin ending in a sharp antero-dorsal corner. Large oval eyes protruding from the anterior margin. Medio and dorso-lateral carina present on the shield. Large raptorial appendages bearing short spines.

Ostenocaris ribeti ( Secrétan, 1985) comb. nov. – Callovian, Middle Jurassic, France.
Remarks
Arduini et al (1980) did not provide a diagnosis for Ostenocaris . They just mentioned that the description of Ostenocaris was “coinciding with that of the type species” ( Arduini et al. 1980: 362). Concerning the type species, they just described the original species without providing a proper diagnosis.
