Regional Records: EASTER ISLAND - Mursia aspera - Zarenkov, 1990: 220 (Salas y Gómez and south-western part of Nazca ridge, 22°06'-25°07' S / 81°19'-99°35' W, 162-350 m). - Parin et al., 1997: 163, tab. 3 (List). - REMARK: Galil, 1993: 355 indicates, "Zarenkov's (1990) specimens differ from M. aspera in lacking prominent conii on carapace, external surface of chela and on upper margins of pereiopoda meri". This observation is based on Zarenkov’s drawing only (Galil, pers. com.) and exact identity of Zarenkov’s material remains an open question.
