The new fossil decapod locality discovered recently in the NE extreme flank of the Chebka Timerchidou mountain, at the Moyenne Moulouya, NE of Morocco has yielded a rich decapod assemblage such as Hasaracancer merijaensis Ossó, Artal & Vega, 2011, Costacopluma maroccana Ossó, Artal & Vega, 2010, and Ophthalmoplax minimus Ossó, Artal & Vega, 2010. We report Pleuronassa timerchidouensis n. gen., n. sp. (Callianassidae Dana, 1852) from the same locality. It represents the second species of thalassinid from the Upper Cretaceous of Morocco following the recent discovery of Neocallichirus agadirensis Garassino, De Angeli & Pasini, 2011, from the Cenomanian of Agadir (W Morocco).
