Type species. Paramunida setigera Baba, 1988 , by original designation. Gender: feminine. Diagnosis. (from Baba et al. 2009 ) Carapace covered with spinules or granules, transverse striae indistinct. Rostrum short, basally subtriangular, distally ending in spine. Supraocular spines short and stout, usually remote from rostrum. Abdominal somites with 2 main transverse ridges, each with spines in regular arrangement. Antennular segment 1 with distomesial and distolateral spines, both small; lateral spines obsolescent. Antennal peduncle with strong anterior prolongation on segment 1, flagellum of no great length. P1–4 squamous; P2–4 propodi successively longer posteriorly; dactyli slender, curved and somewhat twisted, with flexor margin entire. Gonopod 1 absent in males. Remarks. Prior to the present study, the genus comprised 26 species distributed across the Indo-West Pacific ( Baba et al. 2008 ; Cabezas et al. 2009 ; Macpherson & Baba 2009 ). Most species are distributed in the western part, two of which also occur in the Indian Ocean ( P. scabra , P. tricarinata ) and with 3 species occurring in the central Pacific ( P. hawaiiensis , P. pictura , P. spatula ). In general, they exhibit a distribution positively restricted to single islands or archipelagos, with few species widely distributed (see Baba et al. 2008). Bathymetrically, the genus is typically recorded in transitional depths ( 200–500 m ), with few of them distributed in the continental shelf or in the upper bathyal depths ( Baba 2005 ). The present paper adds 11 new species to the genus, for a total of 37, which are presented here in alphabetical order.
