Treatment

Eumunida capillata de Saint Laurent & Macpherson, 1990a: 240 , 254–257, figs. 1c, 8c–d, 10a–k, 15, 17b [type locality: New Caledonia].

Material examined. NEW SOUTH WALES: AM P21120, 1 male (6.9 mm), NE of Crowdy Head , 31°48–43’S, 153°12–13’E, 366–377 m, K750606, 11 Sep 1975; AM P26832, 1 male (9.3 mm), eastern New South Wales, AprSep 1977.

Remarks. The two specimens agree in most respects with de Saint Laurent & Macpherson (1990a) but vary in features related to their small size. The smallest specimen lacks the ventral pad on the palm of the cheliped, though a shallow depression is present in its place. The larger specimen exhibits diagnostic characters of adults, including the distinct ventral pad on the palm of the cheliped.

Distribution. New Caledonia and now from New South Wales, Australia, at depths of 418– 650 m.
