Abstract
Our understanding of the molting process in the Jurassic brachyurans is very scarce because useful material is rare. New specimens from Poland and Germany, in addition to previously known specimens, let us further investigate the molting process. Specimens of Laeviprosopon laeve reveal characters not known before. On the dorsal carapace, molting lines are confirmed in three species of Laeviprosopon : the type species L. laeve , L. laculatum and L. fraasi . This brought questions about the systematic position of Laeviprosopon , which we here reassign to Homolidae within Homoloidea. Furthermore, two specimens ascribed previously to L. sublaeve are transferred to L. fraasi
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1997, Palaeontologia Electronica (PE) is the longest running open-access, peer-reviewed electronic journal and covers all aspects of palaeontology. PE uses an external double-blind peer review system for all manuscripts. Copyright of scientific papers is held by one of the three sponsoring professional societies at the author''s choice. Reviews, commentaries, and other material is placed in the public domain. PE papers comply with regulations for taxonomic nomenclature established in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants.
