Abstract
A new species of Nephropsis, N. larryi new species, from the Lincoln Creek Formation of Washington, USA, differs from all previously described species of Nephropsis. The Lincoln Creek Formation of Washington, USA, was deposited in a continental shelf environment, preserving many genera of in-vertebrates, including lobsters, which have not been formally described from the formation. Nephropsis is known from eighteen extant species and only one other fossil species. The fossil species, Nephropsis midwayensis Rathbun, 1935, is from the Paleocene of Gulf Coastal USA. Additionally, nearly every other species of Nephropsis is known from either the Atlantic Ocean or the Indo-West Pacific Ocean, with only one being native to the Western Pacific coast of North America.
