Abstract Description of a new species of lithodid decapod
crustacean Paralomis debodeorum, from middle-late Miocene rocks of
Motunau Beach, North Canterbury, New Zealand, constitutes the first record of
king crabs from the fossil record. The species most closely resembles the
extant P. zealandica Dawson & Yaldwyn.
