Thelecarcinus Böhm is removed from Xanthoidea sensu lato and placed within the raninoidan family Paranecrocarcinidae Förster. Placement of the genus within the family confirms the North Atlantic and Tethyan range of the family in the Late Cretaceous and its occurrence in predominantly marl and carbonate environments.
