چکیده
Munida diritas sp. nov. is described for the seamounts near Desventuradas Islands, in intersection of Salas & Gómez and Nazca Ridges, Chile. Specimens new species were collected summit (∼200 m depth) one seamount observed by ROV at two nearby ones. This characterized presence distinct carinae on thoracic sternites 6 7. Furthermore, it not related with any from continental shelf nor slope America, while closely to French Polynesia West-Pacific Ocean (i.e., M. ommata, psylla rufiantennulata ). In situ observations indicate that lives among tentacles ceriantarid anemones preys small crustaceans. The discovery this adds knowledge highly endemic benthic fauna newly created Nazca-Desventuradas Marine Park, emphasizing relevance area marine conservation.
