General
Paralomis verrilli has been recorded from off California to Alaska, USA, the Bering Sea and the Pacific coast of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Okinawa, Japan (Sakai, 1971; Wicksten, 1989; Hendrickx & Harvey, 1999). The carapace is pentagonal, wider than long and with numerous small, rounded granules of variable sizes on dorsal surface. Walking legs are moderately long and bearing a row of well-developed spines on dorsal margins and two rows of short spines on ventral margins. Paralomis verrilli is not specific to chemosynthetic communities but abundantly observed around hydrothermal vent fields in Hatoma Knoll, Okinawa Trough (Watabe & Miyake, 2000).
