Glyptolithodes cristatipes View in CoL . — Faxon 1895: 43, pl. 7, fig. 2, 2a–2c. — Haig 1974: 161, fig. 5. — Baez & Andrade 1979: 222, pl. 1, fig. 2. — Wicksten 1982: 247. — Wicksten 1989b: 314. — Dawson 1989: 317. — Martin et al. 1997: 83, figs. 2, 3 (extensive synonymy). — Hendrickx & Harvey 1999: 374.

Diagnosis (after Haig 1974 and Martin et al. 1997). Carapace subtriangular, tuberculate; gastric area raised into conical prominence, crescent-shaped ridge on each branchial region, cardiac area enclosed in deep fossa. Ridges, prominences more marked in juvenile than adult. Rostrum straight, triangular. Anterolateral margin of carapace with 5 teeth. Chelipeds unequal, right one larger; coxa granulated, lower margin of ischium, merus with 3–4 blunt teeth, upper surface of merus toothed. Pereopods 2–4 with crest along anterior margin. Abdomen tubeculate. Juveniles with more spines than adults, carapace more angular, appendages more stout, short. Carapace length to 71.4 mm.

Color in life. Not reported.

Habitat and depth. Continental shelf and slope, 183–800 m.

Range. Palos Verdes Peninsula , California to off Valparaiso, Chile. Type locality Gulf of Panama (Albatross sta. 3354, 7˚ 9' 45" N, 80˚ 50' 0" W). Hendrickx & Harvey (1999) mistakenly reported the species from "Palo Alto, California", but the record in fact came from off the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Los Angeles County, California .
