Paralomis granulosa, also known as the false king crab, the Chilean snow crab, and centollón (Spanish), is a species of king crab.[3][4] It lives around the southern tip of South America in Chile, Argentina, and the Falkland Islands.[5][6] It is smaller than Lithodes santolla – a sympatric species of king crab – having a carapace length up to 115 mm (4.5 in), and weighing up to 1.5 kg (3.3 lb).[7]
