A new species of ghost shrimp (Decapoda, Thalassinidea, Callianassidae) from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Agadir (W Morocco)
We report <em>Neocallichirus</em> <em>agadirensis</em> n. sp. (Decapoda, Thalassinidea, Callianassidae) from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Agadir (W Morocco). This species has been described based upon four specimens that preserve ischium, merus, carpus, propodus, and dactylus of the great cheliped. The new species represents the first report of <em>Neocallichirus</em> in Africa and the oldest species known to date belonging to this genus.
