“…Indeed R. berglundi from the early Eocene of Mexico and the rich sample of specimens from the late Oligocene (Rupelian) of the Ligure-Piemontese Basin (NW Italy) ascribed to R. speciosa by Allasinaz (1987) have been assigned to a new genus within the Raninindae sensu stricto (Pasini & Garassino, 2017).…”

“…According to De Angeli & Beschin (2011), these specimens are quite different from the type species described by von Mün-ster (1840) in having triangular pointed rostrum, elongate, curved orbital spines, both short triangular anterolateral spines inward curved, and different dorsal ornamentation. These Italian specimens were revised by Pasini & Garassino (2017) in order to clarify their systematic position within the Raninidae sensu stricto.…”

-The systematics of the fossil representatives of Ranina Lamark, 1810, has been discussed by several authors in the last century, showing some problematics above all due to the lack of a close diagnosis of the type species (R. ranina) and to the scarce number of well-preserved type series of each fossil species. However, based upon a close comparison among the type series of each species, authors' original descriptions, and the main diagnostic characters of Ranina, this preliminary review finds that twelve species have to be considered as doubtful species within Ranina, as follows: ?Ranina americana Withers, 1924 Riassunto -Revisione preliminare delle specie fossili di Ranina Lamarck, 1801 (Decapoda, Brachyura, Raninidae), con osservazioni sistematiche.La sistematica dei rappresentanti fossili di Ranina Lamark, 1810 è stata discussa da numerosi autori nell'ultimo secolo, mettendo in evidenza alcuni problemi dovuti alla mancanza di una approfondita diagnosi della specie tipo (R. ranina) e alla scarsità e povera conservazione degli esemplari originali di ciascuna specie fossile. Tuttavia, grazie ad un confronto tra gli esemplari originali di ciascuna specie, le loro descrizioni originali e i principali caratteri diagnostici di Ranina, questa revisione preliminare ha permesso di stabilire che dodici specie sono da considerarsi specie dubbie di Ranina:
