| Summary: | Munidopsis tuerkayi n. sp. (Figs. 3, 4A, 5 A–B) Material examined. Holotype. SMF 49249, male, 7.3 mm, Campeche Bank (Gulf of Mexico), 23 ° 49.731 ’N, 87 ° 10.319 ’W, 578 m, RV ‘ Maria S. Merian’ MSM 20 / 4 Station GeoB 163 09- 1, BC, 22 March 2012, no sediment collected—associated only with few scleractinian fragments (Lophelia pertusa), Munidopsis penescabra and sponges. Paratype. SMF 49251, male, 7.9 mm, Southwest Florida (Gulf of Mexico), 25 ° 16.256 ’N, 84 ° 26.805 ’W, 539 m, RV ‘ Maria S. Merian’ MSM 20 / 4 Station GeoB 163 47 - 1-5, ROV dive 8 subsample 4, 29 March 2012, with polynoid polychaete Gorgoniapolynoe caeciliae (Fauvel, 1913) on fan-shaped, current oriented primnoid coral Candidella imbricata (Johnson, 1862), the latter was attached to apical part of a rock exposure (see also Barnich et al. 2013). Etymology. Named for our friend and colleague, the late Michael Türkay, for his important contributions to carcinology. Description. Carapace: Dorsally unarmed, 1.2 times longer than wide; moderately convex from side to side; sparsely covered with short, fine setae and fine striae; cervical groove shallow; epigastric region with short striae. Dorsal margin of orbit oblique, antennal (outer orbital) spine small. Frontal margins oblique; anterolateral spine slightly larger than outer orbital spine. Lateral margins slightly convex; widest at posterior half; unarmed. Rostrum broad, 0.35–0.40 carapace length; trifid distally; apex directed slightly upwards; carinate dorsally; lateral proximal margin almost straight. Pterygostomian flap with short, sparse striae; anterior margin blunt. Sternum: Longer than wide. Sternite 3 about 0.3 width of sternite 4. Posterior margin of sternite 3 contiguous with anterior margin of sternite 4. Sternites 4–7 successively wider posteriorly, smooth, sparsely setose, unarmed. Abdomen: Tergites with short, fine, scattered setae, unarmed. Tergites 2–4 with elevated anterior ridge; tergites 2 and 3 with shallow groove behind anterior ridge. Tergites 4 and 5 smooth. Tergite 6 with ... |
