Mature females are much broader than the males, thanks to their wide, flaring plates. They are about 50% as long as they are wide, whereas males and immatures are twice as long as they are wide. ''Ligia Pallasi'' is probably the only local species in the genus. ''L. occidentalis'' is rarely found north of California.
