(Fig. 35H)
Munidopsis hystrix Faxon, 1893: 183; 1895: 89, pl. 19, figs. 1,1a. — Rathbun 1904: 166. — Schmitt 1921: 168, fig. 10. — Garth & Haig 1971: 6.6. — Wicksten 1989b: 315. — Hendrickx & Harvey 1999: 376. — Hendrickx 2003 b: 25.
Diagnosis. Rostrum long, armed with 2–5 spines on each side. Carapace setose, covered with small spinous tubercles, one at external angle of each orbit, 3 prominent spines on gastric region, one on cardiac area, one on each branchial area, row of spines on each lateral margin. Chelipeds with thorn-like spines on merus, carpus, propodus. Pereopods 2–4 each with sharp tooth at distal end of carpus. Abdomen with spines on second, third somites. Carapace length 26 mm.
Color in life. Not reported.
Habitat and depth. Continental slope, on green mud or Globigerina ooze, 552–1243 m.
Range. Anacapa I., California to Peru. Type localities off Cape Corrientes, Mexico (Albatross sta. 3424, 21˚ 15' N, 106˚ 23' W and sta. 3425, 21˚ 19' N, 106˚ 24' W) and off Acapulco, Mexico (Albatross sta. 3417, 16˚32' N, 99˚48' W.
Remarks. In the Gulf of California, Hendrickx (2000b) reported collecting this crab at oxygen levels oxygen levels of 0.15–0.22 ml O2/l, the lowest overall oxygen levels at which species of Munidopsis were collected in the area.
