Jasus caverum (Crustacea: Decapoda: Palinuridae) from the eastern South Pacific Ocean

SWP OBIS Open in mapper Explore occurrences

A new species of rock lobster, Jasus caveorum, is described from commercial catches taken on a non-emergent seamount in the eastern South Pacific Ocean. The species best fits the "frontalis subgroup" of the "lalandii group" of Jasus lobsters. J. caveorum is most similar to J. frontalis from the eastern South Pacific, but differs clearly from that species in having very little abdominal "squamous" sculpturing.
