''Munida alia'' is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin ''alius'', meaning "another", in reference to the other species that are centered around '' M. heteracantha''.

Squat Lobster
Squat lobsters are dorsoventrally flattened crustaceans with long tails held curled beneath the cephalothorax. They are found in the two superfamilies Galatheoidea and Chirostyloidea, which form part of the decapod infraorder Anomura, alongside groups including the hermit crabs and mole crabs. They are distributed worldwide in the oceans, and occur from near the surface to deep sea hydrothermal vents, with one species occupying caves above sea level. More than 900 species have been described, in around 60 genera. Some species form dense aggregations, either on the sea floor or in the water column, and a small number are commercially fished. Description The two main groups of squat lobsters share most features of their morphology. They resemble true lobsters in some ways, but are somewhat flattened dorsoventrally, and are typically smaller. Squat lobsters vary in carapace length (measured from the eye socket to the rear edge), from in the case of ''Munidopsis aries'', down to o ...

Munididae
The Munididae are a family of squat lobsters, taxonomically separated from the family Galatheidae in 2010. Description and ecology The squat lobsters in the family Munididae can be distinguished from other families by the presence of a trispinose frontal edge to the carapace, as well as a central rostrum, and two spines extend forward from above the eyes. Although a few species enter shallow water, the majority of species in the Munididae are deep-water taxa, in contrast to the mostly shallow-water Galatheidae. Taxonomy The genera now included in the family Munididae had previously been included in a wider Galatheidae. When originally described , the family contained these genera: *'' Agononida'' Baba & de Saint Laurent, 1996 *''Anomoeomunida'' Baba, 1993 *'' Anoplonida'' Baba & de Saint Laurent, 1996 *'' Babamunida'' Cabezas, Macpherson & Machordom, 2008 *'' Bathymunida'' Balss, 1914 *''Cervimunida'' Benedict, 1902 *†'' Cretagalathea'' Garassino, De Angeli & Pasini, 2008 †...
