Munididae is a familyofsquat lobsters, taxonomically separated from the family Galatheidae in 2010.[1]

Description and ecology

[edit]

The squat lobsters in the family Munididae can be distinguished from other families by the presence of a trispinose frontal edge to the carapace, as well as a central rostrum, and two spines extend forward from above the eyes.[1] Although a few species enter shallow water, the majority of species in the Munididae are deep-water taxa, in contrast to the mostly shallow-water Galatheidae.[1]
