          Abstract

          On the basis of newly collected material, two ghost shrimp taxa from the lower Maastrichtian Ocozocoautla Formation in Chiapas (Mexico) are recorded. Callianassa burckhardti is reassigned to Eucalliax, which extends the known fossil record of this genus to the early Maastrichtian. A new species, Callianassa (s.l.) ocozocoautlaensis, is described based on a single specimen whose state of preservation does not enable a firm generic assignment, despite the fact that the material exhibits striking similarities to extant Callianassa modesta, occasionally treated as a member of the genus Cheramus. The fossil record of ghost shrimps from Mexico is briefly reappraised and their survival across the K/Pg boundary is discussed. The conservative body plan of ctenochelid and callianassid taxa is emphasized and it is postulated that virtually all major ghost shrimp clades were already established well before the Cenozoic.

          Con base en material recientemente colectado, se reportan dos taxa de camarones fantasma de la Formación Ocozocoautla del Maastrichtiano inferior de Chiapas (México). Callianassa burckhardti es reasignada a Eucalliax, por lo que el registro fósil del género respectivo se extiende al Maastrichtiano temprano. Una especie nueva, Callianassa (s.l.) ocozocoautlaensis, se describe con base en un solo especimen, cuya preservación no permite la identificación confiable a nivel de género, aunque el material exhibe fuertes afinidades con la especie existente Callianassa modesta, que en ocasiones es tratada como un miembro de Cheramus. El registro fósil de camarones fantasma de México es brevemente reevaluado, y se discute su supervivencia a través del límite K/P. Se enfatiza el plan conservativo de los taxa de ctenoquélidos y calianásidos, y se postula que virtualmente todos los clados mayores de camarones fantasma se establecieron antes del Cenozoico.

            Upper Cretaceous Crustacea from Mexico and Colombia: similar faunas and environments during Turonian times

            Nine taxa represent the crustacean component of the Turonian fauna from the Eagle Ford Group limestones and marls that crop out in several quarries, northwest of Múzquiz, Coahuila, Mexico. Three crustacean taxa are found in common with deposits of similar age and paleoenvironment of the San Rafael Formation of Colombia. Planktic foraminifera, ammonoids, inoceramid bivalves, fishes, marine reptiles, a pterosaur and plant remains were preserved in the Múzquiz quarries, in what has been interpreted as an anoxic, low energy bottom at a water depth of no less than 50 m. The cirriped Stramentum preserved on the ammonite Forresteria is described. Stomatopod remains of the family Pseudosculdidae are described, their incompleteness and poor preservation prevent their detailed identification. One species of scyllarid lobster is included. An indeterminant species of nephropid lobster is also part of this assemblage. Presence of Gourretia aquilae (Rathbun) new combination, confirms correlation with the Eagle Ford Group in Texas. A systematic and morphologic review is provided for Cenomanocarcinus vanstraeleni Stenzel, a species widely distributed during Turonian times, and based on morphologic features of the abdomen and its relationship with coxae, it is assigned to the Podotremata. Also, preservation of soft tissue is reported from C. vanstraeleni and the scyllarid lobster. The raninid Cretacoranina sp. cf. C. dichrous (Stenzel) is also reported. In addition, two raninid taxa are described, their poor preservation prevents more detailed identification. The flattened appendages of C. vanstraeleni and of the raninid species suggest a burrowing habit and/or active swimming.
