Scolonida gracilis is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae.

It is found off of Tasmania and Victoria to Sydney, and in the Great Australian Bight, at depths between about 145 and 700 metres (480 and 2,300 ft).

[5] It is also found in the waters around New Zealand.

[6] The specific name chydaea was derived from the Greek χυδαῖος (khudaîos), "abundant", in reference to how numerous the species is.
