Lithodes longispina is a species of king crab. [1] [2] It has been found in Japan and Taiwan. [1] [2] Before 2010, its reach was thought to be much greater than presently understood, such as Australia, New Zealand, and Guam. [3] It has also allegedly been sighted in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. [4]

It closely resembles L. megacantha , L. formosae, and L. paulayi . [5] [6]
