Issue Date: | 31-Dec-2007 | Publisher: | Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, National University of Singapore | Journal Issue: | 16 | Start page/Pages: | 15-20 | Source: | Raffles Bulletin of Zoology | Abstract: | A new deep-sea galatheid, Munidopsis dentifalx, is described on the basis of two specimens obtained at depths of 2,120-2,323 m by the PANGLAO 2005 expedition to the Philippines. The new species closely resembles M. villosa Faxon, 1893, known from the Gulf of Panama and off Chile, but differs from that species in lacking antennal and epigastric spines on the carapace and a median spine on the abdominal segment 5, and in the spination of the P2-4 dactyli. The last mentioned character is unusual in the genus Munidopsis, the ultimate of the ventral marginal spines being far distant from the penultimate. |
