description: <i>MUNIDOPSIS DIOMEDEAE</i> (FAXON, 1893) <i>Type locality</i>: Steamer <i>Albatross</i>, sta. 3357, 782 fathoms. –sta. 3363, 978 fathoms. –sta. 3364, 902 fathoms. –sta. 3366, 1067 fathoms. –sta. 3371, 770 fathoms. –sta. 3373, 1877 fathoms. –sta. 3393, 1020 fathoms. –sta. 3407, 885 fathoms. –sta. 3429, 919 fathoms. –sta. 3418, 660 fathoms. –sta. 3419, 772 fathoms. –sta. 3424, 676 fathoms. –sta. 3429, 919 fathoms. –sta. 3435, 859 fathoms. –sta. 3436, 905 fathoms. <i>Known range</i>: California south to Chile, at depths of 768–3790 m, and common in the Gulf of California (Haig &amp; Wicksten, 1975). Chevaldonné &amp; Olu (1996) note the possibility that the unidentified galatheid observed by Lutz (1992) at cold seeps in this area may also be <i>M. diomedae</i>. <i>Occurrence at vents or seeps</i>: restricted to the Guaymas Basin (Gulf of California), 2000 m (Khodkina, 1991). <i>Material</i>: Gulf of California, Guaymas Basin, 27°02′48″N, 111°22′90″W; 1994–2006 m; Expedition 12, R / V <i>Academician Mstislav Keldysh</i>; <i>Pisces IV</i> sta. 1522; non-type, 1 male. −26°59′82″N, 111°25′31″W; 2023–2026 m; Expedition 12, R / V <i>Academician Mstislav Keldysh</i>; <i>Pisces IV</i> sta. 1551; non-types, 1 male, 2 ovigerous females, 1 immature male, 1 immature female. − 27°00′55″N, 111°24′6″W; 2026 m; Expedition 12, R / V <i>Academician Mstislav Keldysh</i>; <i>Pisces IV</i> sta. 1572; non-types, 2 females (Khodkina, 1991). <i>Remarks</i>: This species was originally described as <i>Galacantha diomedeae</i> (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 1893: 180). Khodkina (1991) reported the collection of eight specimens from hydrothermal vents in the Guaymas Basin.
