Lithodes jessica is a species of king crab in the genus Lithodes. It is found off the coast of New Zealand on the Lord Howe Rise at depths from 680–1,100 m (2,230–3,610 ft).[2]
Description
[edit | edit source]L. jessica has a pyriform carapace with long, slender spines, and its chelipeds are long and cylindrical.[2] Its colour in life is unknown.[2] Having been measured with at most a carapace length of 110.5 mm (4.35 in) and a carapace width of 58.1 mm (2.29 in), it is small enough to resemble early adults of other species within Lithodes.[2]
