In the contribution remains of Middle Eocene crabs of species Lophoranina marestiana (König, 1825) from environs of the small village of ]opi near Pi}an in central Istria, Croatia, are considered. Remains of their carapaces were found in Lutetian carbonates occuring within the thick Paleogene flysch beds sequence. Individuals of the mentioned taxon are relatively abundant of skeletons and casts of smaller and larger organisms of diverse paleontological groups. Dosedanje raziskave rakovic v osrednji Istri BITTNER (1875, 68) pi{e, da so ranine v Istri poznane in so enake vrsti Ranina marestiana ter da so iz zgornjega horizonta z rakovicami vrste Harpactocarcinus punctulatus Desmarest v najdi{~u pri nekdanjem ^epi}kem jezeru. TONIOLO (1909, 291-294) med eocensko favno okolice Ro~a v Istri opisuje tudi rakovice {tirih oblik: Calappa sp., Harpactocarcinus quadrilobatus Desmarest, H. punctulatus Desmarest in H. souwerbyi (=sowerbyi) Milne-Edwards. Kakr{nihkoli ostankov ranin ali loforanin iz obmo~ja okolice Ro~a, TONIOLO (1909) ne omenja. SACCO (1924, 20-21) poro~a, da so srednjeeocenske plasti bogate s fosilnimi ostanki in da izdanjajo na obmo~ju Ro~a, Pazina, Gra~i{}a in drugod. Med rakovicami omenja najdbe rodov Ranina in Calappa ter vrste Harpactocarcinus quadrilobatus, H. punctulatus in H. sowerbesi (=sowerbyi) s {tevilnimi primerki, ki tvorijo takoimenovane »plasti z rakovicami«. KOCHANSKY-DEVIDÉ (1964, 219, sl. 292) predstavlja ostanke rakovice rodu Ranina iz eocenskih skladov v okolici Ra{e. PAVLOVEC in PAV{I~ (1987, 55) sta raziskovala plasti z rakovicami v Istri in geologija 53_1.indd 47 18.6.2010 14:02:00 doi:10.5474/geologija.2010.004
