A male specimen of a new species of the heterogeneous genus Pagurus Fabricius, 1775, collected in 1968 off the Caribbean coast of Venezuela, was discovered among the vast crustacean collections of the Smithsonian Institution. This new species herein described and illustrated is named P. scopaopsis, and is characterized primarily by the presence of: a brush-like setation pattern on the dactyl of the left third pereopod, dense small tubercles on the dorsal surfaces of the dactyl and fixed finger of the right chela, and a raised longitudinal ridge armed with spines on the palm and fixed finger of the left chela.
1968年在委内瑞拉加勒比海岸采集的一个雄性标本，属于异尾类Pagurus Fabricius属（1775年），是在史密森学会大量甲壳类动物标本中发现的。本文描述并图示的这个新物种被命名为P. scopaopsis，其主要特征为：左第三步足指节上有刷状刚毛排列模式，右螯指节和不动指背面有密集的小瘤，左螯掌节和不动指上有带刺的凸起纵向脊。
