Alcock's synonymy of this genus includes Galathodes, Oro- 

 phorhynchus, Elasmonotus, instituted by A. Milne-Edwards in 

 1880, Anoplonotus, Smith, 1883, Galathopsis, Henderson, 

 1885, and Bathyankyristes, Alcock and Anderson, 1894, the 

 intergrading of all but the last having been already discussed 

 by Faxon in 1895. But, while making the name Munidopsis 

 generically paramount, Alcock divides the genus into five 

 groups under the names Munidopsis, Galatliodes, Oroplw- 

 rhynchus, Elasmonotus, Bathyankyristes, so that the last four 

 generic names seem to be practically readmitted as it were by 

 the back door, after being turned out by the front one. Group 1 

 is defined as : 



" Munidopsis proper, with the antero-lateral angles of the 

 carapace spiniform, even if the lateral borders are not 

 anteriorly spinose or dentate ; with the rostrum styliform 

 or acutely triangular, without any lateral spines ; with the 

 chelipeds decidedly longer than the legs and usually, in the 

 male, as long as, or longer than, the fully extended body ; and 

 with the eyes terminal on the eye-stalks, which are almost 

 always freely movable."
