Flat Lobster, Slipper Lobster

Family Scyllaridae

REMARKS Maximum length 45 cm. Colour chestnut. The most obvious difference between the cigale and the lobster is of course that the claws of the cigale are very short. The back is covered with tiny protuberances.

There is also a petite cigale, Scyllarus arctus (Linnaeus), which only reaches a length of 14 cm.
