Neolithodes vinogradovi is a species of king crab whose native habitat ranges from the Arabian Sea to the Coral Sea. [2] [1] [3]
In the eastern Indian Ocean, one was found at a depth of 1,600 metres (5,200 ft), while in the Coral Sea, two specimens were found in the range of 1,920–2,110 metres (6,300–6,920 ft). [1] [3] Small differences were observed between the specimen found in the Indian Ocean and the two found in the Coral Sea. [3]
"Neolithodes" is derived from Greek and Latin and means "new stone-crab", [4] while the species name "vinogradovi" is a dedication to the carcinologist L. G. Vinogradov. [1]
