Areopaguristes setosus (H. Milne Edwards, 1848)
Areopaguristes setosus is a species of Anomura in the family Diogenidae. Family of hermit crabs, sometimes known as "left-handed hermit crabs" because in contrast to most other hermit crabs, its left chela (claw) is enlarged instead of the right.
Areopaguristes is proposed as the replacement name; from the Greek Ares, the God of War, in combination with Paguristes.
Areopaguristes setosus is known from New Zealand. Unfortunatelly, no further information are available.
