GENUS MUNIDA LEACH, 1820
Remarks: The high diversity and biogeographical range of the genus Munida (more than 56 species are known from waters around New Caledonia alone; see Macpherson, 1994b) would seem to support the idea that the two species known from vents are vagrants rather than endemics. Taxonomic reviews of Munida include those of Pequegnat & Pequegnat (1970, Gulf of Mexico), Macpherson & de Saint Laurent (1991, French Polynesia; 2002, Indian Ocean), Macpherson (1993, Indo-Pacific; 1994b, New Caledonia), Baba (1988, Philippines), and Macpherson & Baba (1993, Indo-Pacific).
