Munidopsis is a genus of squat lobster. It is the second largest of all the genera of squat lobsters, after Munida, with over 200 species.[1] Its members are mainly found on continental slopes and on abyssal plains.[1] A few fossil species are also known,[2] including specimens from the Campanian (Cretaceous).

Diversity

There are currently over 230 known species.[3]

Distribution

Munidopsis, like other squat lobsters, are often found in chemosynthetic environments in the ocean.[4]

Munidopsis was the first confirmed genus to inhabit the underwater Mud volcano habitat.[4]

Most Munidopsis species are found in the deep sea at depths more than 5300m.[3]

In 2022, during surveys of the wreck of the Endurance, a squat lobster believed to be an unidentified species in the Munidopsis genus was observed.[5]

Historical significance

The genus Munidopsis dates back to the Eocene and Upper Cretaceous of Antarctica.[6]
