Notes

Munidopsis sp. indet. 1 (Fig. 15), Munidopsis sp. indet. 2 (Fig. 16), Munidopsis sp. indet. 3 (Fig. 17) and Munidopsis sp. indet. 4 (Fig. 18). These images were taken at too great a distance to see fine details of the antennae, spines of the anterior carapace or other distinguishing features. However, all can be determined to belong to different species by the shape of the chelae, the colour and the length of the pereopods. Fig. 16
