Abstract
A new species of rock lobster, Jasus caveorum, is described from comme rcial catches taken on a non-emergent seamount in the eastern South Pa cific Ocean. The species best fits the ''frontalis subgroup'' of the ' 'lalandii group'' of Jasus lobsters. J. caveorum is most similar to J. frontalis from the eastern South Pacific, but differs clearly from th at species in having very little abdominal ''squamous'' sculpturing.
