Abstract
Necrocarcinus gorbenkoi sp. nov. from the Lyamino Formation (Cenomanian, Upper Cretaceous) from Moscow Region represents the third discovery of crabs in Central Russia and the first member of the genus Necrocarcinus in this geographical area. Morphologically, the new species is close to the species N. bodrakensis Levitskyi, 1974, N. tauricus Ilyin & Alekseev, 1998, and N. labeschii Eudes-Deslongchamps, 1835, but has some differences that allow us to establish a new taxon.
