Abstract	A new monotypic genus, Nancyplax, and a new species, N. vossi, of the family Goneplacidae MacLeay, are described from the southern Caribbean and northeastern coast of South America. Characters derived from male pleopods 1and 2, and male abdomen-sternoabdominal cavity, allow Nancyplax to be assigned to the Euryplacinae Stimpson. The carapace in N. vossi, however, strongly resembles in overall conformation some species in the Carcinoplacinae H. Milne Edwards. In addition, N. vossi has a well developed stridulatory organ, a feature shared with only one other euryplacine species, some carcinoplacines, and some species in the Goneplacinae MacLeay. The mosaic habitus of Nancyplax precludes resolution of relationships with other euryplacine genera. Morphological similarities of N. vossi with species of Carcinoplax H. Milne Edwards, Psopheticus Wood-Mason, Psopheticoides Sakai, and Trizocarcinus Rathbun, are summarized.
