“…Haig (1979) erected Pseudomunida for a new species, P. fragilis, a species having close morphological affinities to Eumunida, and corresponding to the 'Eumunidiens' group. Uroptychodes was erected for U. epigaster Baba, 2004, and related species formerly placed in Uroptychus (Baba 2004). Recent studies of sperm and larval morphology also support this distinction between groups (e.g., Clark & Ng 2008;Guerao et al 2006;Tudge 1997).…”

The high level classification of the Chirostyloidea Ortmann, 1892, is reviewed. Eumunididae Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1900, is resurrected for two genera formerly placed in the Chirostylidae Ortmann, 1892, Eumunida Smith, 1883, and Pseudomunida Haig, 1979, based on shared characteristics such as the dorsal carapace striation, presence of supraocular spines of the rostrum, dentition of the mandible, presence of an epipod and an annulated exopod flagellum of maxilliped 1. Three families are now included in the Chirostyloidea: Chirostylidae, Eumunididae and Kiwaidae. Diagnoses are provided for each family as well as a key to the families. The fossil record of the Chirostyloidea is discussed, with putative records of Eumunida in the fossil record referred to the galatheid genus Sadayoshia Baba, 1969.

“…The female from off the Kermadec Islands was designated as the lectotype (Baba, 1988). Distribution: Western Pacific; the Kermadec Islands, south of Mindanao (Philippines) (Henderson, 1885(Henderson, , 1888, Hunter and Matthew Islands, New Caledonia and Kei Islands (Baba, 2004) and Manado Bight (Indonesia) (Baba, 2005), 458-952 m. In New Zealand, this species is so far only known from the type locality ( Fig. 5).…”

“…Worldwide, c. 180 chirostylid species are currently described, c. 160 of which are distributed in the Indo‐Pacific (Baba, 2005). Recent work (Baba & de Saint Laurent, 1992; Ahyong & Baba, 2004; Baba, 2000, 2004, 2005; Ahyong & Poore, 2004) has greatly increased the number of known species in this region, particularly in the south‐west Pacific, but records of New Zealand chirostylids remain extremely scarce. Including Henderson's (1885) first report on the collections of the HMS Challenger off New Zealand, a total of only seven species has been described from this region.…”

Prior to the present study, seven species of deep‐sea Chirostylidae (‘squat lobsters’), were known from New Zealand: Gastroptychus novaezelandiae, Uroptychodes spinimarginatus, Uroptychus australis, Uroptychus maori, Uroptychus novaezelandiae, Uroptychus politus, and Uroptychus tomentosus. All species are examined from type material and discussed, original illustrations supplemented, and new records provided where available. Uroptychus maori and Uroptychus novaezelandiae are re‐described. The chirostylid fauna of the Kermadec Islands, a remote group of islands north‐east of New Zealand, is studied. Uroptychus alcocki and Uroptychus scambus are reported for the first time from New Zealand, and six new species of the genus Uroptychus are described. Distributional patterns of New Zealand species are discussed and a key to New Zealand Uroptychus species is presented. © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009, 155, 542–582.

“…Chirostylidae typically occupy outer shelf and slope habitats. From numerous expeditions across the western Pacific, many unknown species of chirostylids have been discovered in the last 20 years (de Saint Laurent & Macpherson 1990, de Saint Laurent & Poupin 1996, Baba 2004, Ahyong & Poore 2004a. Furthermore, the knowledge on the larval stages of Chirostylidae is even scarcer than in the Galatheidae.…”

The first zoeal stages of the galatheids Neonida grandis, Agononida squamosa and Munida javieri, and the chirostylids Eumunida annulosa and E. capillata are described and illustrated from laboratory-hatched material obtained from ovigerous females collected from south western Pacific. The morphologies of the first zoeae are compared with the same larval stage of other known anomuran species. The larval characters of Agononida squamosa and Neonida grandis are similar to those described for Agononida incerta. Munida javieri exhibits features not present in other described species of Munida such as the setation of the endopod of the maxillule and the antennal morphology. Eumunida annulosa and E. capillata do not show abbreviated development as in other described chirostylids such as Uroptychus and Gastroptychus, and its larval morphology is equivalent to the first stage of galatheid zoeae. However, many morphological characters of Eumunida species are typically pagurid, such as the two terminal plumose setae of the antennal endopod, the three-segmented endopod of the maxillule, the posterior margin of the carapace without spines, and the scaphognathite with 5 plumose setae and without a posterior lobe.
