The Munididae are a family of squat lobsters erected in 2010.[1]
Description and ecology
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]
Taxonomy
The genera now included in the family Munididae had previously been included in a wider Galatheidae.[1] When originally described in 2010[update], the family contained these genera:[1]
