ORTMANN: CRUSTACEA OF SOUTHERN PATAGONIA. 659 



Family GALATHEID^E Dana. 



MUNIDA Leach. 

 MUNIDA SUBRUGOSA Dana. 



1888 M. s. Henderson in : Rep. Voy. Challenger, v. 27, p. 124. 



1891 M. s. A. Milne-Edwards in : Miss. Cap Horn, v. 6, p. 36, pi. 2, f. 2. 



Localities. Punta Arenas, i J 1 i 9 (ad.); San Julian, 29Jun. 



Distribution. Falkland Islands; Tierra del Fuego ; Straits of Magel- 

 lan ; along the Atlantic coast of Patagonia northward to off Monte Video ; 

 on the western coast northward to Messier Channel and Chiloe. 



This species is also found in New Zealand, Auckland and Campbell 

 Islands. A variety (var. australiensis Henderson, 1888, p. 125, pi. 13, f. 

 3) is found in Bass Strait, Australia. 



Range in depth: southern localities 0-125 fath.; off Monte Video: 

 600 fath. 



Remarks. The specific differences of this species have been set forth 

 best by A. Milne-Edwards, and I have been able to verify them in our 

 material. 



Henderson's M. subrugosa is the true M. subrugosa, although he also 

 gives, among the synonyms, Grimotliea gregaria (with a ?) : he states 

 expressly (p. 125) that no specimens representing the latter form were 

 taken by the Challenger, and, further, he doubts the correctness of the 

 identification of these two species. 



MUNIDA GREGARIA (Fabricius).

 1902 M. g. Benedict in : Proc. U. S. Mus., v. 26, p. 308, fig. 45, 46. 



Locality. Punta Arenas, i <$ ad. 



Distribution. Falkland Islands; Tierra del Fuego; Straits of Magellan. 



It is doubtful whether this species is also found in New Zealand, since 

 it has been confounded by some authors with M. subrugosa. A form 

 allied to this is mentioned by Filhol (1885, p. 426) from Cook Strait, 

 New Zealand : he distinguishes it well from M. stibrugosa, but says that 

 it is also not quite identical with " Grimothea gregaria" and proposes the 

 name of Grimothea novce-zelandice for it. See also Benedict, 1. c. 



Remarks. Length of body of our specimen : 54 mm. (about as long
