Material examined.

BIOREPES 1 stn. 48, 2 males, 2 females, 1 ovigerous female. COBERPES 2011 stn B9, 3 males, 1 female, 1 ovigerous female, stn D9, 2 males, 4 females.

Remarks.

Munidopsis serricornis has been captured off Georgia; Gulf of Mexico (sector SE); West and East Atlantic; Indo West Pacific; 10?-2165 m ( Felder et al. 2009). In the present study it was only collected in front of Ría Lagartos, Yucatán (ESE). Most of the individuals were collected in spring at 769.0-1040.0 m depth. The CL size ranges were: males (6.0-12.7mm), females (6.0-10.6 mm), and ovigerous females (7.8-10.7 mm). The two ovigerous females occurred in spring and summer (1040.0 and 700.0 m depth, respectively).
