Neolithodes indicus is a species of king crab found in the Arabian Sea.[1] It has been found at depths between 743–1,829 m (2,438–6,001 ft).[1] It was originally identified erroneously as Lithodes agassizii by A.R.S. Anderson in 1896.[1][2]

Etymology

"Neolithodes" is derived from Greek and Latin and means "new stone-crab",[3] while "indicus" is Latin for "Indian".[4]
