Family PARAMUNNIDAE Vanhöffen, 1914


Compiler and date details

5 March 2012 - Kelley Merrin, Museum Victoria, Melbourne, Victoria

 

Introduction

The Paramunnidae is one of the largest family in the suborder Asellota, comprising 185 species in 44 genera, all of which are tiny (maximum length 0.6 to 3 mm) benthic dwellers known worldwide from shallow tidal to abyssal depths (Just, 2009a, 2009b; Just & Wilson, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2021). Most genera are endemic to the Southern Hemisphere. For example, in the Ross Sea, paramunnids were reported to be the most abundant and most frequently collected isopod family (Choudhury & Brandt, 2007). Just,

Paramunnids were included in Munnidae by Wolff (1962) who provided a key to 11 genera. Wilson (1980) treated paramunnids as a separated family that he called Pleurogoniidae Nordenstam, 1933, including 11 genera. Just (1990) synonymised Abyssianiridae Menzies, 1956 with Paramunnidae. Wilson (1980) recognised suprageneric relationships within three clusters. Males often differ from females, notably in having swollen shoulders on pereonite 1.

 

Diagnosis

Body broad, ovate, often with lateral plates. Pleon of 1 free pleonite plus pleotelson. Anus covered by pleopodal operculum. Eyes on lateral process (if present). Pereopod 1 prehensile; pereopods 2–7 ambulatory. Uropod inserting posterodorsally, minute, without peduncle.
