Two collections containing 14 specimens of late Cretaceous crabs from Carlsbad, San Diego County, California, and Punta San Jose, Baja California Norte, Mexico, yield new data on Pacific Slope Cretaceous decapods. Three specimens of Cretaceous decapods from Punta San Jose are preserved in calcareous concretions from the Rosario Formation and eleven specimens associated with a diverse molluscan fauna from Carlsbad are preserved in sandy claystone of the Point Loma Formation. Three crabs from Punta San Jose and six specimens from Carlsbad are assigned to Xandaros sternbergi (Rathbun 1926), n. gen. Five specimens from Carlsbad are assigned to Icriocarcinus xestos, n. gen., n. sp. Xandaros sternbergi is a xanthid crab with a massive body and massive, spatulate chelae. Icriocarcinus xestos is a carcineretid crab with a wide, flattened carapace and heterochelous, keeled claws. One specimen of I. xestos is preserved in a simple oblique burrow.
