Munidopsis albatrossae, in the family Galatheidae, was collected by the 1999 DSV Alvin expedition on the Patton seamount at 2953 m; they were usually seen below 1000 m. The family Galatheidae collectively called "squat lobsters" are classified as Anomurans, or "asymmetrical tail" crabs, as are king crabs (Text excerpted from Report of R/V Atlantis Cruise 3-36).
