Munidopsis serricornis ( Lovén, 1852)

Munidopsis serricornis has previously been reported by many names: Galathea serricornis , Galathea tridentata , Galathodes serricornis , Galathodes rosaceus , Galathodes tridentat , Munidopsis tridentatus , Munidopsis tridentata , Munidopsis bahamensis , and Munidopsis tenuirostris (see Baba et al. 2008). This species has been reported throughout the Atlantic and in the Pacific in depths of 200 to 1665 m ( Milne-Edwards 1880; Milne-Edwards 1882; Ortmann 1892; Milne-Edwards & Bouvier 1900; Chace 1942; Macpherson & Segonzac 2005; Baba et al. 2008). Four specimens (one labeled M. bahamensis and three labeled M. tridentata ) of M. serricornis were available for analysis: two males (CW from 7.9 to 11.1 mm), one female (3.5 mm), and one ovigerous female (not measured). These specimens were examined and all were morphologically synonymous with M. serricornis . All specimens were from the Gulf of Mexico and were collected in May, June, and September in depths from 402 to 788 m.
