摘要

A new species of the genus Munida Leach, 1820, is described and illustrated based on a single specimen from the deepsea hydrothermal area in the southwestern Indian Ocean. Munida manqingae sp. nov. closely resembles M. tiresias Macpherson 1994, but differs in the morphology of the carapace, basal segment of the antennular peduncles, first segment of the antennal peduncle.
