Munida forceps A. Milne-Edwards, 1880

Munida forceps A. Milne-Edwards, 1880: 49 .

Material examined. None.

Distribution. Western Atlantic— USA (Virginia, Florida), Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Guyana, Brazil (Alagoas, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul), Uruguay ( Melo-Filho & Melo 2001a, b; Lalana et al. 2004; Melo-Filho 2006, 2008; Coelho et al. 2007; Spivak et al. 2019).

Remarks. We found two specimens of Munida forceps from São Paulo deposited in the MZUSP collection (1 spec., MZUSP 13217, N.Oc. “Prof. W. Besnard”, st. 6693, 26°41ʹS / 046°27ʹW, 430 m, 19.i.1998; 1 ♂, MZUSP 16244, Ilha da Queimada Grande, 50–80 m, no coord., coll. C. Cunha, x.2003) that were used to obtain sequences. This species is found between 44 and 426 m depth but there are records at 630 m and 950 m ( Lalana et al. 2004; Melo-Filho 2006, 2008). The record in Uruguay is dubious ( Spivak et al. 2019). Sequences accession numbers (GenBank): MZUSP 16244—16S ( MT320100 ), COI ( MT479221 ).
