Jasus paulensis, also commonly known as the St Paul rock lobster, is a species of spiny lobster found in the waters around Saint Paul Island in the southern Indian Ocean and around Tristan da Cunha in the southern Atlantic Ocean. At one time the rock lobsters on Tristan da Cunha were believed to be a separate species known as the Tristan rock lobster (Jasus tristani), but the use of mitochondrial DNA sequencing has shown them to be identical.[3] Some authorities, for example the International Union for Conservation of Nature, retain them as separate species.[4][5] The Tristan rock lobster features on the coat of arms and the flag of Tristan da Cunha.
