Diagnosis. Carapace about twice as wide as long, with lateral expansions not reaching midlength of rostrum, with dorsal tubercles, broad teeth along lateral margins. Rostrum narrowing distally, end rounded. Chelipeds tuberculate, unequal in size. Pereopods 2–4 flattened. Abdomen flat, triangular. Carapace length to 49 mm.
Color in life. Highly variable: red, ivory, gray, orange, or spotted ( Hart 1982).
Habitat and depth. Often in shell rubble by rocky reefs, low intertidal zone to 45 m.
Range. Amchitka I., Alaska to Santa Rosa I., California . Type locality "northern California.”
Remarks. Brandt received specimens that came from the coast of California near Fort Ross, which may be the actual type locality of this crab.
