provided by wikipedia EN

Neolithodes capensis is a species of king crab which is found in the Southern Ocean and the western Indian Ocean. It has been found to a depth of 660–3,200 metres (2,170–10,500 ft).[2][3][4]

They have been found near Cape Point[1] and around the Crozet and Kerguelen Islands in the subantarctic,[5] and they are widespread in the Bellingshausen Sea on the Antarctic continental slope.[6][7]

Neolithodes capensis closely resembles Neolithodes yaldwyni, another king crab of the Southern Ocean.[4]
