Description . Rostrum short, not more than 2 times length of eyestalks, slightly curved upward without lateral spines ( Fig. 1 b). Carapace pentagonal in general shape, covered with scale-like tubercles, arranged in transverse lines; epigastric region armed with 2 anterior spines and 1 better developed median spine; cardiac region with median spine projecting anteriorly; antennal spine absent; lateral spines strong and projecting anterior and oblique to carapace, reaching almost the base of the cornea ( Fig. 1 a); posterior margin armed with spines. Chelipeds short, almost one and one-half times carapace length, finely granulose, without spines, palm as long as fixed finger ( Fig. 1 c). Third pereiopod unarmed but with carpus and merus with 1 and 2 distal spines ( Fig. 1 d), dactyl with ventral row of 9–12 spines with spiniform setae on anterior margin ( Fig. 1 e). Remarks . The specimens match Faxon’s description and diagnosis very well ( Macpherson 2007 ), except that the palm is as long as the fixed fingers in our specimens and not 1.5 times the fixed finger as diagnosed by Macpherson (2007) . This new records extend the range of the species 1700 km south, to 35°31.48’S (off Constitución, Chile ). TABLE 1 . List of munidopsid species cited from Chilean Waters.
