Rhinolithodes wosnessenskii, also called the rhinoceros crab, is a species of king crab, the only species in the genus Rhinolithodes.[1][2] The species is named after Ilya Gavrilovich Voznesenski.[3] It is found at depths of 6–73 metres (20–240 ft) in the north-east Pacific Ocean from Kodiak, Alaska to Crescent City, California.[4][5]
R. wosnessenskii grows to 7 centimetres (2.8 in) across the carapace, which is triangular and has a deep semicircular depression. The legs are covered in spines and long setae. It lives in crevices on rocky or gravel bottoms, and is only rarely encountered.[5] Rhinolithodes is likely a sister genus to Phyllolithodes.[6]
