Confusion

[edit]

There seems to be some confusion over this genus. There's very little information available, but it seems to me that there are probably two different taxa being discussed. Briggs et al. consider a genus in the Phyllocarida; they appear to be the only source for that (every other hit for that usage derives from the Briggs paper). On the other hand, De Grave et al., six years later, state that Carinacaris is a decapod, and contains only one species. I'm inclined to believe the latter, but some further information would be nice. --Stemonitis (talk) 05:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
