LO-IV-140H 8-km Mouchez B and 13-km Mouchez C are on the floor of Mouchez (which is missing most, if not all, of its eastern and southern rim). 17-km Mouchez J is partially visible on the left as is 51-km Mouchez A at the top. The shadows in the upper right come from sculpted hills that are not part of any IAU-named feature.

Nomenclature
- Named for Ernest Amedee Barthelemy Mouchez (1821-1892), a French astronomer.
- The name was apparently adopted by the IAU into the original nomenclature scheme of Named Lunar Formations (1935) based on a lunar map published by Gaudibert and Fenet in 1887 (Whitaker, p. 150).
- Is there an unnamed catena passing Mouchez L and Mouchez C?! See http://bit.ly/2lwPuiu (discovered by SandiBandi).
- Interesting discovery SandiBandi !!! (Catena Mouchez C - Mouchez L). Danny C.
