Jilinicaris is an extinct genus of crustacean in the order Decapoda,[2] and is the second oldest Stenopodidean fossil, having been found in rocks of Late Cretaceous age.[3][4] It was considered the was the earliest fossil assigned to the Stenopodidea, until the discovery of Devonostenopus pennsylvaniensis in 2014.[4] Jilinicaris is named after Jilin Province, where it was discovered. The holotype was found with three fossils of Estherites bifurcatus in a light gray muddy siltstone belonging to the lacustrine Nenjiang Formation.[3]
