<i>Hexamunida</i> Genus of crustaceans

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.

<i>Garymunida</i> Genus of crustaceans

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".

<i>Scolonida</i> Genus of crustaceans

Scolonida is a small genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. 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.

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.
