Abstract

Two species of decapod crustaceans are described from upper Albian sediments of Central Iran. The small mecochirid lobster Huhatanka iranica n. sp. represents the second species of this genus, previously known from the Albian of Kansas, USA. Callianassasensu lato is reported as an associated crustacean.

Keywords: Crustacea, Mecochiridae, Huhatanka, Albian, Iran.
