- Group: Lobster
- Typical depth: 2–91 m
- Max size: 30.9 cm
- IUCN status: DD
A flat, heavily armoured slipper lobster with three dark spots, it lives over muddy bottoms from shallow water down to around ninety metres. Lacking the long antennae of true lobsters, it uses broad shovel shaped plates instead, and remains poorly enough studied to be listed as data deficient.
