Abstract

A new genus and species of crab is described from the late Maastrichtian Meerssen Member of the Maastricht Formation at the type area of the Maastrichtian Stage, SE Netherlands. This new taxon could well be the ancestor of the xanthid Prochlorodius-Chlorodiella group and its occurrence provides additional evidence of a late Cretaceous radiation among the decapod crustaceans.
