EUMUNIDA PICTA SMITH, 1883
Type locality: north-eastern coast of the United States; 38°39′N to 39°58′N; 115–159 fathoms (219– 303 m); Steamer Albatross sta. 1043 (see de Saint Laurent & Macpherson, 1990b: 650) .
Known range: Amphi-Atlantic, in the western Atlantic from off Massachusetts to Florida, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, from depths of 200 to 600 m ( de Saint Laurent & Macpherson, 1990b: 650). Wenner (1982) reported the previously known depth range as 234–522 m but collected this species at 248–613 m between 36°40.4′N, 74°40.0′W and 37°05.0′N, 74°39.5′W.
Occurrence at vents or seeps: reported from cold seeps off the continental slope off Louisiana at depths of 400–1000 m ( Carney, 1994) .
Material: Non-seep material mentioned by de Saint Laurent & Macpherson (1990b, as cited by Chevaldonné & Olu, 1996). We are not aware of any collections of this species from the Louisiana seeps.
