Mesoparapylocheles is an extinct hermit crab genus which existed during the Mesozoic in what is now Europe. It was described by René H.B. Fraaije, Adiël A. Klompmaker and Pedro Artal in 2012. The type species is Mesoparapylocheles michaeljacksoni from the Albian or Cenomanian of Spain; which was named after the singer Michael Jackson.[1] Genus also includes other species from the Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) of Germany[2] and from the Late Jurassic (Tithonian) of Austria.[3]
