Paralomis multispina is known from Alaska to San Diego, California, USA and off the Pacific coast of Japan (Sakai, 1971; Wicksten, 1989; Hendrickx & Harvey, 1999). The carapace is pyriform and thickly covered with sharp spines. Apical parts of spines on carapace usually look like to be cut off, forming round or elliptical faces (Sakai, 1971). Paralomis multispina is not specific to chemosynthetic communities, but large populations are frequently observed around cold seeps in Sagami Bay or hydrothermal vent fields in Hatoma Knoll and Iheya Ridge, Okinawa Trough (Ohta & Kim, 2001; Martin & Haney, 2005).
