Abstract

Two new species of hermit crab are recorded from the upper Miocene (Tortonian) St. Marys Formation of Maryland, named Pagurus hazenorum n. sp. and Paguristes timoni n. sp. and assigned to the families Paguridae Latreille, 1802, and Annuntidiogenidae Fraaije, 2014, respectively. Both new species are morphologically close to present-day congeners, but can be differentiated on details of ornament (tubercles, granules and teeth).
