description: <i>Paramunida granulata</i> (Henderson, 1885) (Figs. 13C, 16I) <i>Munida granulata</i> Henderson, 1885: 409 (S of the Fiji Islands, 549 m); 1888: 133, pl. 14, figs 3, 3a, 3b (off Matuku, Fiji, 576 m). <i>Paramunida granulata</i> Baba 1988: 176, fig. 72 (Moluccas off W coast of Halmahera, 545 m). — Macpherson 1993: 452, figs 3, 13 (New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands and Indonesia; reexamination of type material; 439–650 m); 1996: 412 [SW Pacific (Futuna Island, Wallis Islands, Bayonnaise Bank), 400–450 m]; 2004: 287 (Fiji and Tonga, 395–592 m). — Ahyong &amp; Poore 2004: 68 (Queensland, 548 m). — Baba 2005: 302 (key, synonymies). — Baba <i>et al.</i> 2008: 172 (list of occurrences). <b>Material examined.</b> Tonga. BORDAU 2. Stn CP 1640, 21º09.14’S, 175º23.96’W, 21 June 2000, 564– 569 m: 2 M 9.6–10.2 mm, 2 ov. F 9.8–12.7 mm. Vanuatu. MUSORSTOM 8. Stn CP 1027, 17°53.05'S, 168°39.35'E, 28 September 1994, 550– 571 m: 6 M 7.0– 12.4 mm, 1 F 10.8 mm. Loyalty Islands. MUSORSTOM 6. Stn DW 468, 21º05.86’S, 167º32.98’E, 21 February 1986, 600 m: 1 M 11.5 mm (MNHN-Ga 3218). <b>Diagnosis.</b> Rostrum triangular, larger than supraocular spines, with thin dorsal carina; margin between rostral and supraocular spines straight or slightly concave. Spinules on gastric and hepatic regions forming groups arising from scale-like striae and with few short uniramous setae. Mesogastric region with 1 welldeveloped spine. Median cardiac region with 3 or 4 well-developed spines. Few and short setae along anterior branch of cervical groove. Sternal plastron squamate, with numerous striae on sternites 4–7. Lateral margin of antennular segment 1 with distal slender portion about half as long as proximal inflated portion. Antennal peduncle with anterior prolongation of segment 1 spiniform; segment 2 twice longer than broad, with distomesial spine long, almost reaching end of anterior prolongation of segment 1, distolateral spine nearly reaching end of segment 3; segment 3 1.5 times longer than broad. Base of P1 carpus without bundle of setae. P2 propodus 7–8 times as long as wide, and 1.2–1.3 times longer than dactylus. <b>Remarks.</b> <i>Paramunida granulata</i> is morphologically and genetically very different from the other species of the genus. This species is unique in having the distomesial spine of antennal segment 2 very long, almost reaching the end of the anterior prolongation of segment 1. This distomesial spine is always much shorter in the other species of <i>Paramunida</i>. The genetic divergences between <i>P. granulata</i> and the other species of <i>Paramunida</i> are always greater than 8% (16S rRNA) and 16% (ND1). <b>Distribution.</b> Philippines, Indonesia, Queensland, New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands, Fiji, Tonga, Futuna Island, Vanuatu, Wallis Islands and Bayonnaise Bank, between 395 and 650 m.
