A new Eocene crab (Crustacea, Decapoda) from Seymour Island, Antarctica

A new xanthid crab, Tumidocarcinus foersteri n. sp. is described from the La Meseta Formation on Seymour Island, Antarctica. The fossils were obtained from the Allomember Submeseta of Late Eocene age. As other representatives of the genus Tumidocarcinus were only known from New Zealand and Australia...
