A new species of the genus Munida Leach, 1820, is described and illustrated based on a single specimen from the deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the Eastern Pacific Rise. Munida alba sp. nov. closely resembles M. ampliantennulata Komai, 2011, M. watatsumin Komai, 2014. and M. magniantennulata, but differences in the morphologies of the third maxilliped, pollex of the cheliped and the third segment of the antennal peduncle readily distinguish the new species from the three relatives. The new species is the fourth of the genus occurring at the hydrothermal vent areas.
基于来自东太平洋海隆深海热液喷口的一个单一标本,描述并图示了1820年命名的穆氏虾属(Munida Leach)的一个新物种。穆氏白虾(Munida alba sp. nov.)与2011年的粗壮触角穆氏虾(M. ampliantennulata Komai)、2014年的绵引穆氏虾(M. watatsumin Komai)以及大触角穆氏虾(M. magniantennulata)非常相似,但第三颚足、螯足拇指和触角柄节第三节的形态差异很容易将该新物种与这三个近缘物种区分开来。该新物种是出现在热液喷口区的该属的第四个物种。
