In this paper we report new specimens of an interesting Paratethyan decapod Styrioplax exiguus Glaessner,\ud1928, which extend the known palaeogeographic and stratigraphic distribution of the species. The described\udspecimens originate from three different localities from Miocene beds in the Slovenske gorice, in the vicinity of\udMaribor. By analysing the fossil nannoplankton assemblages we were able to determine a Middle Miocene age of\udthese deep water beds of the Central Paratethys
