Abstract
We have restudied some of the material of a fossil anostracan originally di scussed and illustrated by Palmer from the Middle Miocene, Barstow Formatio n, near Yermo, California, and we now recognize it as a new species, Branch inecta barstowensis. It is the best-preserved fossil anostracan known to da te. The closest affinities of this species are with B. pollicifera Harding, 1940. collected from the mountains of Peru and Bolivia around Lake Titicac a.
