A new species of Galene de Haan, 1833 (Decapoda: Brachyura: Galenidae) is described from the Mid Miocene (Langhian) strata of the Mishan Formation exposed at two localities in Hormozgan Province, Zagros Mountains, Iran. The galenid species, Galene dashtbani n. sp. is considered as the oldest representative of the genus and simultaneously the westernmost occurrence of all fossil and extant congeners known to date. The genus is currently limited to the Indo-West Pacific region. The present fossil occurrence of the genus suggests a Tethyan origin and subsequent migration eastward.
