First record of Munidopsis cubensis AbstractMunidopsis cubensis is reported for the first time for the Southern Caribbean Sea, Colombia. The specimen was collected in November 2009, using a trawl, offshore of Punta Canoa (Bolívar) at a depth of 776 m. We present the species diagnostic characters, as well as its distribution and bathymetric and geographic information. This record increases to 24 the number of known species of Munidopsis in Colombia.

Three new species of squat lobsters of the genus Munidopsis Whiteaves, 1874, from Guadeloupe Island, Caribbean Sea (Crustacea, Decapoda, Munidopsidae)

“…The studies on this genus continued with the collections made by the "Alaminos" and other expeditions in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea (Pequegnat & Pequegnat 1970, 1971Mayo 1972Mayo , 1974Gore 1983;Baba & Camp 1988). More recently, some studies have improved our knowledge on the distribution of the species (Navas et al 2003;Campos et al 2005;Herrera-Medina et al 2014;Vazquez-Bader & Gracia 2016), including the description of some new species (Pequegnat & Williams 1995;Vazquez-Bader et al 2014;Macpherson et al 2016). Thus, 56 species of the genus Munidopsis are currently known in the Western Atlantic.…”
