Abstract
We report a new fossil crab from the late Campanian of the Northumberland Formation, Hornby Island (British Columbia, Canada). The studied specimen has been assigned to Bournelyreidus with B. grahamae n. sp. It represents the first report of the genus from Canada, extending its palaeogeographic distribution in the easter Pacific. Finally, it represents the seventh species of the genus, confirming the restricted stratigraphic age of the genus to the Late Cretaceous.
