Owen Anderson, NIWA. TAN0905 - Chatham Rise Graveyard Seamounts

The Antlered crab Dagnaudus petterdi (Grant, 1905) is distinguished by its antler-like horns to either side of the eyes with a simple rostrum in the middle, and small hooks at the end of the last pair of legs, which are usually held above the carapace.
