Garymunida is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Munididae. [1] [2] [3] It was erected in 2022 when the then paraphyletic Agononida was divided into three lineages: Agononida sensu stricto and two new genera, Garymunida and Hexamunida. The genus name honors Gary C. B. Poore , acknowledging his "significant contributions to the study of the Galatheoidea and other crustaceans". [3]
Garymunida is primarily distributed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, but two species ( G. schroederi and G. longipes) occur in the western Atlantic Ocean. [3]
There are 20 recognized species: [1]
