Kumonga exleyi, also known as the Cape Range remipede,[5] is a species of remipede in the monospecific genus Kumonga and the monotypic family Kumongidae.[2][3][4] It was described in 1996 from specimens collected during the years of 1993 to 1995,[1] and was originally assigned to the genus Lasionectes, but was moved to its own genus, Kumonga, in 2013.[2][6][7] It is listed as a vulnerable species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and as a critically endangered species under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (WA).[1]

It is named after Kumonga, a kaiju from the 1967 kaiju film Son of Godzilla[7] and the cave diver Sheck Exley.
