Stereomastis sculpta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Stemonitis (talk | contribs) at 06:00, 6 June 2013 (Rv., but update reference; "flatback lobster" is used for several polychelids and is probably best treated as a vernacular name for the family generally rather than any given species. They have no real common names.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.
