Metacarcinus starri
''Metacarcinus starri'' is an extinct species of crab in the family Cancridae, subfamily Cancrinae. The species is known solely from the early Miocene, Clallam Formation and the underlying Pysht Formation deposits on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state, United States.
==History and classification==
The species is known from only the holotype female, number UWBM 92012, and five other specimens all of which are currently residing in the collections housed at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle, Washington, USA.〔 The type specimens were first studied by Ross E. Berglund and James L. Goedert. Berglund and Goedert's species description was published in the ''Journal of Paleontology'' in 1996.〔 The specific epithet "''starri''" was coined by the authors in recognition of David Starr, who collected and donated one of the paratype specimens.〔
When first described, ''M. starri'' was named ''Cancer (Metacarcinus) starri'' by Berglund and Goedert. In 1975, J. D. Nations had divided the genus ''Cancer'' into four subgenera, including ''Metacarcinus''. This placement was followed until 2000, when the subgenera were elevated to full genera by Carrie E. Schweitzer and Rodney M. Feldmann,〔 Also available as (PDF ).〕 making the species' binomial ''Metacarcinus starri''.〔
