Munidopsis is a genus of squat lobster
. It is the second largest of all the genera of squat lobsters, after Munida
, with over 200 species. Its members are mainly found on continental slopes and on abyssal plains. Two fossil species are also known (marked "†"), including specimens from the Campanian
(Cretaceous
).
