Abstract
A new species of the primitive crab genus Bucculentum SCHWEITZER & FELDMANN, 2009 is recorded from the Mornsheim Formation (Upper Jurassic, lower Tithonian, hybonotum ammonite Zone) at Muhlheim, near Solnhofen. The new species is one of the largest members of the genus known to date. It can be distinguished from congeners in particular on the basis of carapace outline, placement of spines and shape of the branchial region and carapace grooves.Keywords
