Scolonida is a small genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae.[1][2][3] It was erected in 2022 to accommodate three species previously placed in the genus Munida. The genus name combines the Greek scolos (=spine) and the genus name, Munida, and refers to the presence of protogastric spines that characterize the genus.[3]
Scolonida are distributed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, with one species found in the waters of Somalia, and two other near Australia and New Zealand.[3]
Species
There are three recognized species:[1]
- (Macpherson, 1991) (Henderson, 1885)
- Scolonida haswelli Scolonida gracilis
- (Henderson, 1885) Scolonida rubiesi
