Autrigoniscus resinicola is an extinct species of terrestrial isopod crustacean from the Albian of Spain. It is the only species in the genus Autrigoniscus.[1][2]
Paleoecology and distribution
[edit]Autrigoniscus resinicola was described from 3 amber fossils from the Basque-Cantabrian Basin of northern Spain.[1] All three specimens were presumably male and one specimen had potential remnants of the digestive tract.[1]
