Collected: April, 2005 5 km off of Assateague, VA sampling just above the bottom using an epibenthic sled (363 micrometer mesh) in 8-9 m depths.

Notes: The female C. haematus is distinguished the similar Centropages typicus. by the sharply pointed spine at the end of the right side of the prosome, which is directed outward, as shown here. The males of these two species are difficult to distinguish, but usually less common. These two species often co-occur.
