Abstract

Examination of palaeontological collections in the Muséum d’Histoire naturelle d’Autun resulted in the discovery of 14 historical specimens of crustaceans collected by three regional naturalists, Auguste Roche, Hugues Daviot and Charles de Prunelé. A taxonomic inventory lists seven species of decapods (Glypheidae, Mecochiridae, Eryonidae, Penaeidae, Callianassidae), and one species of isopod (Archaeoniscidae). This commented systematic list gives to the specialists an instrument of comparison and reference.
