Abstract |
A new species of Galatheidae, genus _Munida_, is described from off northeastern Brazil. The material was collected with a trawl net by a fishing vessel near the Canopus Oceanic Bank, off the coast of the state of Ceará. The new species, _Munida coltroi_, is morphologically similar to _M. chacei _Melo-Filho and Melo, 1992 and _M. robusta _A. Milne-Edwards, 1880. |
