Abstract:	Lithodes nintokuae, previously known from five specimens from the Emperor Seamount Chain, northwest ofMidway Islands, is redescribed from abundant material taken at a series of localities along the Midway/Hawaiian Islands Ridge. Its recorded depth range is 450 to 1070 m. Rostral and carapace characters place it in the"L. tropicalis group" of the genus Lithodes. Features are given which differentiate it from the five other members of this group.
