Diagnosis. Carapace with few granules on anterior regions, front with tiny notch, 3 developed anterolateral teeth, pubescent. Carpus of chelipeds with tubercles or roughened, tubercles continued on palm or not; major chela with enlarged tooth on movable finger. Carpus of pereopods 2–5 slightly to prominently bilobed, carpus, merus pubescent. Male carapace length to 13.7 mm.
Color in life. Bluish, red, yellowish, mottled with red, brown or gray; carapace, appendages may be of contrasting colors. Dark color on fingers of chelae does not extend to palm. The color notes are from crabs from Moss Beach and Pillar Point, San Mateo County, California; see also Garth & Abbott 1980: figs. 25.24a–25.24d.
Habitat and depth. Rocks, under rocks in sand, tide pools, kelp holdfasts, bases of sea grasses, intertidal zone to 73 m.
Range. Resurrection Bay , Alaska to Tortugas Bay, Baja California. Type locality Monterey, California .
Remarks. There are two subspecies of this species. Lophopanopeus bellus bellus is the northern form, ranging from Alaska to Tortugas Bay, Baja California. It is most abundant north of Point Conception, California. In this subspecies, the carpus of the chelipeds may be smooth to roughened, but does not bear irregular raised bumps or tubercles. The carpus of pereopods 2–5 is not markedly bilobed and does not have bumps. Lophopanopeus bellus diegensis ranges from Monterey Bay to off Cape Tortola, Baja California, but usually is found south of Point Conception. The carpus of the chelipeds bears irregular raised bumps. The carpus of pereopods 2–5 is markedly bilobed and has bumps.
