Garymunida imitata is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae.[1][2][3] It occurs in French Polynesia (South Pacific Ocean).[2] The specific name is derived from the Latin word imitatus, meaning "copy" or "mimic," which is in reference to its similarity to Agononida soelae (=Garymunida soelae).[4]
