Munidopsis tridens ( A. Milne-Edwards, 1880)

Munidopsis tridens has previously been reported as Galathodes tridens (see Baba et al. 2008) and has a distributional range from the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico in depths of 381 to 473 m ( Milne-Edwards 1880; Chace 1942). Two specimens were measured. One male (CW = 7.4 mm), collected in June, was measured from the Gulf of Mexico from 600 m depth. One ovigerous female (CW = 5.2mm) collected in March from the Caribbean from 549 m was measured.
