Decapod Crustacea collected by the NORFANZ Expedition: Galatheidae and Polychelidae Author Ahyong, Shane T. text Zootaxa 2007 1593 1 54 journal article 49148 10.5281/zenodo.178624 7466bbb6-f889-4e40-b22d-e3aee96f9acb 1175-5326 178624 Munida isos Ahyong & Poore, 2004 Munida microps . Haig, 1973 : 273 [part, smaller specimen only] [not M. microps Alcock, 1894 ]. Munida isos Ahyong & Poore, 2004 : 34 –38, fig. 6 [ type locality: off St Patricks Head, Tasmania, 41°35’S , 148°14’E ]. Munida gordoni Vereshchaka, 2005 : 139 , fig. 2, tab. 1–2 [ type locality: off Wairarapa coast, New Zealand , 41°35.45– 34.88’S, 175°46.39–47.23’E, 1000–1400 m ] [new synonymy]. Material examined. NIWA 4065, H-880, ovigerous female (15.0 mm), off Wairarapa coast, New Zealand , 41°35.45–34.88’S, 175°46.39–47.23’E, 1000–1400 m , mud, TAN0107/326, 24 May 2001 ( holotype of Munida gordoni Vereshchaka, 2005 ). 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 ).
