Diagnosis. Rostrum short, blunt, barely longer than lateral projections of carapace. Eyestalk long, corneae slightly dilated, ocular scale rounded. Major cheliped stout, covered with small spinules, granules, fingers very short. Minor cheliped similar to major but with most granules on palm, fingers, fewer on proximal parts. Pereopods 2, 3 stout, with rows of spinules, serrate margins of propodi and carpi, dactyls about as long as propodi, broad. Telson slightly asymmetrical, lateral margins notched, terminal margin with median notch, spinules. Uropods asymmetrical. Carapace length to 19 mm.

Color in life. Reddish to olive green with white or blue granules, pereopods 2, 3 without prominent bands. Eyestalk with faint yellow stripes. Flagellum of antenna bright red.

Habitat and depth. Usually mid-littoral zone of rocky areas, bays and tide pools, intertidal zone to 36 m.

Range. Unalaska, Alaska to Ensenada, Baja California. Type locality Monterey , California .

Remarks. This common intertidal hermit crab usually inhabits shells of Tegula spp.
