From Yahoo News:
A team of American-led divers has discovered a new crustacean in the South Pacific that resembles a lobster and is covered with what looks like silky, blond fur, French researchers said Tuesday.
Scientists said the animal, which they named Kiwa hirsuta, was so distinct from other species that they created a new family and genus for it.

The family was named Kiwaida, from Kiwa, the goddess of crustaceans in Polynesian mythology.
