Wood-Mason, 1872 is the most common species of the deep-sea clawed lobster genus Wood-Mason, 1872 in the Indo-West Pacific. Morphological comparisons and genetic analyses of extensive material referred to this lobster revealed the presence of three species. The three species differ mainly in body size, development of the intermediate carina on the carapace, position of the lateral pair of rostral teeth, whether the pleonal tergum is granulate, and the spination on the large chelipeds.

Four species are new records for Taiwan ( Macpherson, 1990, Macpherson, 1993, Macpherson, 1993, and Bate, 1888) and three species are new records of Dongsha (under the jurisdiction of Taiwan) in the South China Sea ( Alcock, 1901, Wood-Mason, 1872, and ).
