Summary description from Wikipedia:
Lithodes aotearoa
Lithodes aotearoa is a species of king crab endemic to New Zealand. It had formerly been confused with L. longispina and L. murrayi, which until 2010 were thought to occur in the region. It is the second most widespread and common lithodid in New Zealand waters after Neolithodes brodiei, and the New Zealand Department of Conservation classifies it as "Not Threatened".
