Neolithodes vinogradovi is a species of king crab whose native habitat ranges from the Arabian Sea to the Coral Sea.[2][1][3]
In the eastern Indian Ocean, one was found at a depth of 1,600 metres (5,200 ft), while in the Coral Sea, two specimens were found in the range of 1,920–2,110 metres (6,300–6,920 ft).[1][3] Small differences were observed between the specimen found in the Indian Ocean and the two found in the Coral Sea.[3]
Etymology
"Neolithodes" is derived from Greek and Latin and means "new stone-crab",[4] while the species name "vinogradovi" is a dedication to the carcinologist L. G. Vinogradov.[1]
