Munida miles. — Henderson, 1888: 126 [part.].
Material examined
Caribbean Sea: USS “Blake”, st. 221, 760 m, Saint Lucie, 1 ex. (MNHN Ga 534, lectotype). Brazil: São Paulo — N. Oc. “Prof. W. Besnard”, st. 6659, 505 m, 1 ex. (MZUSP 13210); st. 6679, 808 m, 2 ex. (MZUSP 13197).
Recognition characters
Lateral borders of carapace parallel. Outer orbital spine followed by 6 lateral spines. With transverse row of 8 epigastric spines, including 1 pair of small spines between the pair of large medial spines. One or two parahepatic spines on each side of carapace. One small postcervical spine on each side. Remainder of carapace unarmed. Abdominal tergites 2 and 3 with anterior margin armed. Tergite 4 with anterior margin armed or, more rarely, unarmed. Peduncle of antennule with outer terminal spine longer than inner spine and with outer dorsolateral spine followed by 1 smaller proximal outer lateral spine. Peduncle of antenna armed with 1 long distomesial spine on segment 1 (basis) and 1 distolateral denticle on segment 2. Third maxilliped with 1 long proximal spine and 1 shorter distal spine on ventral (flexor) margin of merus.
Distribution
Western Atlantic: Cuba (north coast), Lesser Antilles (Neves, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Grenadines, Grenada) and Brazil (Alagoas, Espírito Santo, São Paulo, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul); 277–835 meters depth.
Remarks
Munida constricta is very similar to M. miles, differing from it in possessing a carapace with parallel borders. According to Chace (1942), the syntypes from USS “Blake” stations 146 and 147 are actually M. miles. MeloFilho & Melo (1992a) selected the specimen from USS “Blake” station 221 as the lectotype of the M. constricta.
