Phyllolithodes is a monospecific genus of king crab in the family Lithodidae. Its only species, Phyllolithodes papillosus (nicknamed the flatspine triangle crab[3]), lives in the intertidal zone and the subtidal zone.[4] It can be found as far north as Unalaska in the Aleutian Islands and as far south as San Miguel Island in Southern California.[4] Phyllolithodes is likely a sister genus of Rhinolithodes.[5]
