Abstract
A new homolid crab Peedeehomola new genus, with Peedeehomola deanbogani n. gen., n. sp., is reported from the Late Cretaceous (late Maastrichtian) of the Rocky Point Member of the Peedee Formation (North Carolina). Peedeehomola deanbogani n. gen., n. sp. possesses peculiar characters, such as the pseudorostral spine as long as the rostrum, the two supraorbital spines directed forward and the prominent anterolateral spine directed outward, not shared with any known genus within the Homolidae.
