Merus as long as or slightly longer than carapace, 2.1–2.3 × as long as carpus, with strong mesial and distal spines, and scattered dorsal spines. Carpus 0.7 × as long as palm, 1.6–1.8 × as long as broad, dorsal surface with scattered spines, mesial and lateral margins with two spines.

This species is morphologically related to L. anchises Rodriguez-Flores et al., 2019, from Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands and L. creusa from French Polynesia (Rodríguez-Flores et al. 2019). They can be distinguished on the basis of the length of the walking legs (P 2 –4), clearly longer in L. rosula than in the other two species. The P 2 merus and propodus are 7.5–9 × and 9–11 × as long as broad, respectively, in the new species. These articles are 4–5 × and 4.5–6.5 ×, respectively, in L. anchises and L. creusa . Furthermore, L. rosula also differs from L. anchises and L. creusa in pleon tergites two and three. The new species has only one anterior ridge on pleon tergite three and a scale-like posterior ridge on tergite two (often obsolescent), whereas each of the two related species has two uninterrupted ridges on both tergites.</p><p>This new species was identified in a previous study on the phylogenetic relationships of Leiogalathea (Rodríguez-Flores et al. 2020), where two specimens of L. rosula from New Caledonia were sequenced. The phylogenetic placement of this species with respect to other species is discussed in detail in Rodríguez-Flores et al. (2020). Genetic divergences between L. rosula and the related species ranged from 12 % to 13 % (Suppl. material 3).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E00F236002EC5739BD183E7030003851	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The closest species is Munidopsis dispar Dong et al., 2021 from the seamounts of the Mariana Trench and Carolina Plate (Dong et al. 2021) and later recorded in the central Pacific: Hawaii and Johnston Atoll (Rodríguez-Flores and Schnabel 2023; Rodríguez-Flores 2025). However, the new species can be distinguished from this species by the following characters:</p><p>The ocular peduncle is smooth in M. dispar, whereas there are numerous granules in M. amnos .</p><p>The granules of the carapace are more acute in M. dispar than in M. amnos .</p><p>The antennular article one has two dorsolateral spines in M. dispar, which are absent in M. amnos .</p><p>The P 1 are as long as the postorbital carapace length in M. amnos, whereas in M. dispar, they are more than twice the postorbital carapace length.</p><p>The genetic divergence between M. dispar and M. amnos is 9 % for COI (Suppl. material 3).</p><p>Munidopsis amnos is morphologically and genetically close to M. sonne Baba, 1995, from the western Pacific and M. granosicorium Williams &amp; Baba, 1989, from California in having numerous granules and tubercles on the carapace and pereopods, lateral margins of carapace unarmed, cornea globular, and eyestalks without eyespines (see Rodríguez-Flores et al. 2023). However, both species are easily differentiated from M. amnos and M. dispar by the presence of epipods on P 1–3 in M. sonne and M. granosicorium, whereas they are absent in the other two species.</p><p>The new species is also morphologically close to M. laevisquama Lin &amp; Chan, 2011 from Taiwan; unfortunately, no genetic information is available for this species. However, the new species is easily distinguished by the absence of epipods on the pereopods, whereas there are epipods on P 1–3 in M. laevisquama .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/429D019A5272505B9699DF5355A818E7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This group of species contains more than 20 species from the different oceans, most of them from the Atlantic Ocean, e. g., M. acutispina Benedict, 1902, M. barbarae (Boone, 1927), M. kucki Baba &amp; Camp, 1988, M. penescabra Pequegnat &amp; Williams, 1995, M. senticosa Rodriguez-Flores et al., 2018, M. serratifrons (A. Milne-Edwards, 1880), M. sharreri (A. Milne-Edwards, 1880), M. trindadensis Cardoso et al., 2014, M. trapeorhyncha Miyake &amp; Baba, 1970, and M. vaillantii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1881) . The species cited in the Pacific Ocean are mostly found in the eastern and central basins, e. g., M. hystrix Faxon, 1893, M. margarita Faxon, 1893, M. opalescens Benedict, 1902, M. ornata Faxon, 1893, M. scabra Faxon, 1893, and M. tanneri Faxon, 1893, being rarer in the western basin, e. g., M. arenula Macpherson, 2007 and M. taurulus Ortmann, 1892 . The Indian Ocean species are M. iridis Alcock &amp; Anderson, 1899, M. leptotes Macpherson, 2007, M. pectinata Macpherson, 2007, M. spinihirsuta Lloyd, 1907, and M. unguifera Alcock &amp; Anderson, 1894 .</p><p>The new species is easily differentiated from the other species by the presence of epipods on P 1, whereas they are absent in the other species. Unfortunately, no epipod data are available from a few species, e. g., M. opalescens, M. ornata, and M. tanneri . Nevertheless, considering other morphological characters, the new species is closely related to those species having the carapace with numerous squamous granulate tubercles or small spines, the posterior ridge of the carapace with small spines, the rostrum unarmed and narrowly triangular, and the pleonal tergites unarmed. These species are M. barbarae, M. penescabra, M. senticosa, M. scabra, and M. tanneri . However, the closest relatives of the new species are M. scabra, from Oregon to Peru, and M. tanneri, from Panama to Chile (Faxon 1895; Wicksten 2012), but they can be distinguished by the following characters (other than the absence of P 1 epipods):</p><p>The rostrum is 1.7–2.0 × as long as wide in M. molinai, whereas it is approximately 2.5 × as long as wide in M. scabra and M. tanneri .</p><p>The granules on the dorsal surface of the carapace are more prominent and spiny in M. scabra and M. tanneri, whereas the granules are small and tipped with minute spines in M. molinai .</p><p>The P 1 have numerous well-developed spines along the dorsal, mesial, and lateral margins of the merus, carpus, and palm in M. scabra and M. tanneri, whereas these spines are minute or very small in M. molinai .</p><p>The extensor margin of the P 2 –4 meri, carpi, and propodi have numerous spines in M. scabra and M. tanneri, whereas these spines are absent in M. molinai .</p><p>The analyses of the new species of Munidopsis together with specimens identified as M. scabra from the northeastern Pacific confirmed the existence of hidden diversity and a species complex, as already suggested by Rodríguez-Flores et al. (2023). The morphological comparison of M. molinai sp. nov. with M. scabra type specimens revealed that the morphological differences between these two species are constant. Collections of more specimens included in this complex will be required to examine the real diversity of the group in the future.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B2614FB6FF2F5B0E82A39945B3FAA159	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
