Eumunida chani is a species of chirostylid squat lobster first found in Taiwan. This species can be distinguished by its absence of a pad of densely distributed setae on its first pereopod, the anterior branchial margin which bears two spines, and the carpus of its first pereopod carrying only two spines.[1]
