holotype

Munida gordoni

).
Remarks.
Munida gordoni
Vereshchaka, 2005
, recently described from off the Wairarapa coast is indistinguishable from
M. isos
Ahyong & Poore, 2004
, described from southeastern
Australia
; the two species are herein synonymised.
Two of three species described by
Vereshchaka (2005)
are represented in the
NORFANZ
collection:
Agononida nielbrucei
and
Munida grieveae
(synonymised above with
M. endeavourae
Ahyong & Poore, 2004
). Although
M. isos
was not represented in the
NORFANZ
collection, it is reported here to clarify the status of
M. gordoni
, the third species described from
New Zealand
by
Vereshchaka (2005)
.
Distribution.
Southeastern
Australia
, from Broken Bay to Tasmania, and now from
New Zealand
;
640– 1700 m
(
Ahyong & Poore 2004
).
