World Distribution
Felder et al. (2009) - 2600-4151 m. GMx–nS Am, E Atl I, W Afr
Environnement : Marine - Substrat/Association : Soft bottom (mud or sand)
Vertical range : Deep (more than 100 m) - Min-Max observed: 2600-4151 m
Lesser Antilles data
Distribution: ICA (off Isla de Aves), IOV (off Blanquilla). 2600-4151 m. ATL.
Munidopsis geyeri - Gore, 1983: tab. 1, Venezuela Basin, off Isla de Aves, Blanquilla [USNS Bartlett, October-December 1981, st. 88, 90, near site H, 13°30'N, 64°45'W, 3500 m]. See remarks.
Munidopsis geyeri - Gaytán-Caballero et al. (2022, Zootaxa): tab. 1, Caribbean Sea, St. Croix, Alvin DSR/V 1078, 17°94'N, 64°81'W, 4000 m, USNM 231300 = ULLZ 8923.
Remark - In Gaytán-Caballero et al. (2022, Zootaxa): tab. 1, M. geyeri sensu Gore (1983, tab. 1, see above) is listed under Munidopsis exuta although a formal correction of Gore (1983) not indicated in text. The coordinate for this tab. 1 specimen matches those given by Gore (1983) and it is therefore the same specimen corrected from M. geyeri to M. exuta: Venezuela Basin, USNS BARTLETT, 1301-82, St. 88, 90, 13°33.60'-13°26.90'N, 64°46.90'-64°42.70'W, 3422–3549 m, Gore (1983) (RMNHD00000, BMNH 1983–353)
Correction/Comment - Pers. Com. Macpheron December 2022 - M. exuta in Gaytán-Caballero et al. (2022, Zootaxa: tab. 1) is a typo error for M. geyeri. Therefore, M. exuta still not formally reported from Lesser Antilles area.
Comment(s) on data
Munidopsis exuta was also collected along with M. geyeri on two cold seep ecosystems
Correction/Comment - Pers. Com. Macpheron December 2022 - M. exuta in Gaytán-Caballero et al. (2022, Zootaxa: tab. 1) is a typo error for M. geyeri. Therefore, M. exuta still not formally reported from Lesser Antilles area.
