Munidopsis sigsbei ( A. Milne-Edwards, 1880)

Munidopsis sigsbei has previously been reported as Galathodes sigsbei and Munidopsis sigsbeyi ( Baba et al. 2008) . Its reported distributional range is from the Gulf of Mexico to Brazil in depths of 659 to 1784 m (Milne- Edwards 1880; Chace 1942; Pequegnat & Pequegnat 1970; Tavares & Campinho 1998). Specimens used in this analysis were in the published distributional range in depths of 500 to 2000 m and were collected in every month ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 G). One hundred fifty-nine males (CW from 2.5 to 13.1 mm), 68 non-ovigerous females (CW from 3.8 to 12.0 mm), and 83 ovigerous females (CW from 6.3 to 13.3 mm) were measured. Males and females were not significantly different in size (t-test, df = 308, t = -1.804, p = 0.072); ovigerous females were significantly larger than non-ovigerous females (t-test, df = 149, t = -4.061, p<0.001). Ovigerous females were observed in February and May through November. Females had between one and 50 eggs, and average egg diameters ranged between 1.14 mm and 2.09 mm. Fecundity was correlated with CW for M. sigsbei (R2 = 0.287, p <0.001) ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 A), but average egg size was not correlated with CW (R2 = 0.002, p = 0.702).
