Scolonida is a small genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. [1] [2] [3] It was erected in 2022 to accommodate three species previously placed in the genus Munida . The genus name combines the Greek scolos (=spine) and the genus name, Munida, and refers to the presence of protogastric spines that characterize the genus. [3]
Scolonida are distributed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, with one species found in the waters of Somalia, and two other near Australia and New Zealand. [3]
There are three recognized species: [1]
Agononida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. In 2022, recognizing that the genus as then defined was paraphyletic, it was divided into three lineages: Agononidasensu stricto and two new genera, Garymunida and Hexamunida. Agononida is distributed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Anomoeomunida is a monotypic squat lobster genus in the family Munididae. The sole a species of is Anomoeomunida caribensis. It occurs in the western Atlantic.
Babamunida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. The genus occurs in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, with the greatest diversity in the Pacific.
Garymunida garciai is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. It occurs in the western Pacific Ocean near New Guinea and Fiji. The specific name is in reference to Antoni García Rubies.
Garymunida isabelensis is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. The species name is from Isabel, one of the Solomon Islands. The males measure from 6.8 to 20.7 millimetres and the females from 5.7 to 31.5 millimetres. It is found off of the Solomon Islands, as the specific epithet implies. It is found at depths between about 240 and 350 metres.
Garymunida longipes is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. It occurs in the westernAtlantic Ocean.
Garymunida normani is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. The males measure from 9.7 to 18.4 millimetres and the females from 9.0 to 13.3 millimetres. It is found off of Fiji, Tonga, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, and Vanuatu, at depths of about 320 to 670 metres. It is also known to be found off of the Tuamotu and Society Islands at depths between about 510 and 630 metres.
Garymunida prolixa is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. It can be found in the Andaman and Arabian Seas, at depths between about 240 and 750 metres.
Garymunida similis is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. The males measure from 13.1 to 21.3 millimetres and the females from 11.3 to 18.4 millimetres. It is found off of the Philippines, at depths between 290 and 495 metres.
Garymunida squamosa is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. The males measure from 5.5 to 17.0 millimetres and the females from 5.1 to 16.4 millimetres. It is found off of Japan, Indonesia, the Admiralty Islands, northeastern Australia, New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands, and Wallis and Futuna, at depths between about 175 and 750 metres. It is also found off of Fiji and Tonga, where it resides between depths of about 350 and 590 metres.
Hexamunida tenuipes is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. It is found off of Japan.
Babamunida brucei is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. It is found off of the east coast of Africa, at depths of about 120 metres (390 ft).
Babamunida callista is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. It is found off of New Caledonia and Chesterfield Islands, at depths between 400 and 590 metres.
Babamunida debrae is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. It was discovered on the west coast of Hawaii, usually sheltering in holes of lava rocks.
Babamunida javieri is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. It is found off of New Caledonia, the Chesterfield Islands, and the Matthew and Hunter Islands, at depths between about 280 and 440 metres.
Scolonida gracilis is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae.
Hexamunida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. It was erected in 2022 when the then paraphyletic Agononida was divided into three lineages: Agononidasensu stricto and two new genera, Garymunida and Hexamunida. The genus name refers to the number of spines (six) along the anterior ridge of the second abdominal somite, whereas these spines number four in Agononida.
Garymunida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. It was erected in 2022 when the then paraphyletic Agononida was divided into three lineages: Agononidasensu stricto and two new genera, Garymunida and Hexamunida. The genus name honors Gary C. B. Poore, acknowledging his "significant contributions to the study of the Galatheoidea and other crustaceans".
Leptonida is a small genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. It was erected in 2022 to accommodate Munida delicata, now Leptonida delicata, in a major revision of the genus Munida. At the time, it was monotypic, but the World Register of Marine Species lists another species not mentioned in the 2022 revision. Leptonida delicata occurs in south-western Pacific Ocean.
Dactylonida is a small genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. It was erected in 2022 to accommodate two species formerly placed in Munida, one of them from the East Atlantic and the other from the Central-Eastern Pacific.
