Munida chydaea is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae.[1] The species name is derived from the Greek χυδαῖος (khudaîos), "abundant", in reference to how numerous the species is. The males measure between about 23.3 and 46.7 millimetres (0.9 and 1.8 in) and the females between about 12.4 and 36.0 millimetres (0.5 and 1.4 in). It is found off of Tasmania and Victoria to Sydney, and in the Great Australian Bight, at depths between about 145 and 700 metres (480 and 2,300 ft).[2]
