Abstract |
New galatheid squat lobsters, _Munidopsis glabra_, from the continental slope of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, and _M. penescabra_, from continental slope areas of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico and the western North Atlantic off Georgia, are described and illustrated. _Munidopsis glabra_ is closely related to western Atlantic_ M. abbreviata _(A. Milne Edwards, 1880). _Munidopsis penescabra_ has affinities with eastern Pacific _M. scabra _Faxon, 1893, and _M. tanneri_ Faxon, 1893, and with closely related western Atlantic _M. sharreri_ (A. Milne Edwards, 1880) and_ M. kucki_ Baba and Camp, 1988. |
