Three n e w records of deep-sea squat lobsters of the genus Munidopsis Whiteaves from the southwestern Atlantic Ocean (Decapoda: Galatheidae)

Marcos Tavares and Priscila Campinho

Abstract. — Munidopsis nitida (A. Milne-Edwards, 1880) and Munidopsis sigsbei (A. Milne-Edwards, 1880), previously known from the West Indies and Gulf of Mexico, are recorded for the first time from the southwestern Atlantic ( southeas tern Brazi l ) . Munidopsis erinacea (A. Milne-Edwards, 1880), known from West Indies, Gulf of Mexico, and from off northeastern Brazil, is recorded for the first time from the southwestern Atlantic. The Brazilian material is herein compared with specimens from the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.

Introduction Ongoing studies on deep-sea decapods

and stomatopods from off the Brazilian coast have revealed the presence of several new species and records from the southwestern Atlantic (Manning et al., 1989; Tavares 1991a; 1991b; 1996a; 1996b; 1997a; Tavares & Albuquerque, 1990; Tavares & Mendonca Jr., 1997). In this account, two deep-sea squat lobsters previously known from the West Indies and Gulf of Mexico are recorded for the first time from off southeastern Brazil, Munidopsis nitida (A. Milne-Edwards, 1880) and Munidopsis sigsbei (A. Milne-Edwards, 1880). Munidopsis erinacea (A. Milne-Edwards, 1880), known from West Indies, Gulf of Mexico, and from off northeastern Brazil, is recorded for the first t ime from the southwestern Atlantic. Opportunity is taken herein to elaborate

on the taxonomy of these three species. The descriptions are based upon the

specimens from the southwestern Atlantic.

We found t h e following no te by Boone (1927: 60) surpr is ing: "It is in te res t ing to note t h a t each of t h e five spec imens a t h a n d a r e o r n a m e n t e d w i t h t h e exact n u m b e r of sp ines and sp inu les ident ica l ly d i s t r ib u t e d a s is p o s s e s s e d by t h e s p e c i m e n f igu red by Prof. Mi lne -Edwards [probably A.

anterolateral spine followed by moderate acute spine and scattered small tubercles. Remainder of carapace with short transverse ridges of granules. Posterior margin preceded by narrow raised ridge with tiny tubercles. Lateral plate ornamented as carapace, projecting anteriorly below antennal peduncle; angular anterior tip bearing distinct small acute tubercle. Abdominal somites unarmed; transverse ridge of segments 2-3 smooth, divided into anter ior and posterior pa r t s by concave trough, that of segments 4 obsolescent; segments 5 and 6 smooth. End of abdominal pleura of somites 2-6 rounded. Telson divided into 10 plates. Epipod well developed on chelipeds, absent on all walking legs. Branchial formula: Mxp3 (1 epipod; 2 arthrobranch); P I (2 arthro-branch); P2-P4 (2 arthrobranch; 1 pleuro-branch); P5 (1 pleurobranch).

Variat ions.— The granules on the dorsal surface of the carapace vary with age, tha t is, large individuals tend to present more granules than small ones. A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier (1897: 74) considered two eye spines as characteristic of M. nitida; Benedict (1902: 276) and Chace (1942: 73) used the eye spines as a key character for M. nitida. I t is worth noting t h a t two specimens out of the fourteen examined herein present an additional eye spine.

Remarks .— Galacantha spinosa, Orophorhynchus spinosus and O. nitidus were described by A. Milne-Edwards (1880). Later on, the genera Galacantha and Orophorhynchus merged into the synonymy of Munidopsis Whiteaves, 1874 (see A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1897; Chace, 1942: 69-72; Baba, 1988: 138). G. spinosa, O. spinosus and O. nitidus were transferred to Munidopsis accordingly.

A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier (1897: 74-75) found t h a t O. spinosus was a jun io r synonym of O. nitidus (ICZN, 1985: 24 ((a, b)). Despite its rejection as a valid name, Orophorhynchus spinosus A. Milne-Edwards, 1880, remains available

dorsal margin of the peduncle of the uropods is less pronounced in the BM female (fig. 8B); spinulation on the meri of the chelipeds varies within the same specimen (e.g., male MNHN-Ga 290); in female MNHN-Ga 290 the carpus and merus of the third left pereiopod present the antero-distal spines well developed, while in male MNHN-Ga 290 those spines
