contents New crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda) from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) of the Moyenne Moulouya, northeast Morocco Àlex Ossó-Morales Pedro Artal Francisco J. Vega Ciencias de la Tierra Morocco Decapoda Crustacea Campanian Costacopluma The presence of the genera Costacopluma and Ophthalmoplax in Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Moroccan strata is documented on the basis of specimens collected from the Calcaires á slumps de Taghit Formation, Moyenne Moulouya (Morocco). Two new species are described, Ophthalmoplax minimus and Costacopluma maroccana. The first record for Opthalmoplax in the west Tethyan realm is reported, and systematic affinities of this genus and its species are discussed. An absolute age of the late Campanian was obtained for this assemblage from 87Sr/86Sr analysis applied to well preserved cuticle calcitic remains of Ophthalmoplax minimus. Costacopluma maroccana represents the 14th species for this genus and the fourth Cretaceous species. Its morphology reinforces hypothesis of two main phyletic groups for this genus. 2010 artículo científico 1026-8774 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57216002002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=572 Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas (México) Num.2 Vol.27
