Abstract
The Early Cretaceous mydid genus and species Cretomydas santanensis is revised on the basis of a new specimen, allowing to precise its relationships within the ‘advanced Mydidae’, probably close to the subfamily Diochlistinae. This extant group has a ‘Gondwanan’ distribution, known from Southern South America and Australia. The presence of an ‘advanced Mydidae’ during the Early Cretaceous also suggests a greater antiquity for this family.
