FAMILY CHIROSTYLIDAE ORTMANN, 1892 View in CoL

Remarks: Chirostylids, morphologically similar to galatheids but usually more delicate, are typically found associated with gorgonian corals in deep reef areas. To date, three species of Uroptychus have been described from vents in the North Fiji Basin. Additionally, one species of the genus Eumunida is known from cold seeps in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
