Abstract: A new genus and species of deep water crab, Pteropeltarion novaezelandiae is described from depths ranging from 499 to 903 metres. The new genus, Pteropeltarion , differs from Trichopeltarion and Peltarion in lacking a complex spiny margin to the carapace, tubercles on the carapace surface and a pre‐orbital spine bounding the orbit, while possessing a long, simple lateral spine and an elongate rostrum.
