Abstract

Upper Cretaceous and Paleocene decapod crustaceans are described from Nûgssuaq, West Greenland; 14 genera, 3 of them new, contain 2 new macrurans, 13 new brachyurans and a galathaeid, referable to a previously described species. They form a mixed assemblage, although 7 of the brachyuran taxa and one of the macrurans are of burrowing species. Homolopsis dispar Roberts 1962 is transferred to Eohomola gen. nov. and a new genus, Metahomola, is proposed.
