Genus Babamunida Cabezas, Macpherson & Machordom, 2008

Babamunida Cabezas et al., 2008: 69 .

Remarks. The genus Babamunida was recently established to include five previously known species of Munida : B. brucei ( Baba, 1974) , B. callista ( Macpherson, 1994) , B. hystrix (Macpherson & de Saint Laurent, 1991). B. javieri ( Macpherson, 1994) and B. plexaura (Macpherson & de Saint Laurent, 1991). These species were united based on molecular and morphological characteristics, including the distinct shape of the rostrum and the supraocular spines as well as characteristics of the ridges of the epistome.
