Abstract

A new species of Graptocarcinus is the stratigraphically youngest known member of the genus; it is here described together with a new species of the genus Caloxanthus from the late Maastrichtian of The Netherlands. The known stratigraphic distribution and paleobiogeography of both genera are discussed. The range of Graptocarcinus is extended from the Aptian to the late Maastrichtian.
